Photographing a dog (what actually works)
I.

Get low, use treats

Squat to their eye level. Treats in your other hand to hold the gaze. One second of attention is all you need.

II.

Outdoor or window light

Park light, garden light, open doorway. Natural daylight. No flash, no harsh midday overhead sun.

III.

Head & shoulders, front-on

Fill most of the frame. The model needs to see ears, eyes, and the specific features that make them them.

Avoid:

Backs of heads · multiple dogs in one shot · screenshots from Instagram · low-light phone photos · dogs running away from the camera.

Six styles. Every breed.

Dachshund to Malamute. Golden Retriever to Husky. Rescue mix to pure-bred. The model is trained to read your dog's specific face, not a generic breed template.

"The giclée paper is gorgeous. Looks like an actual painting. For €99 I expected far less."

"Got the Royal for my French bulldog Pierre. The crown sits perfectly on his head and the cape matches his actual harness. Genuinely uncanny."

Frequently asked

Dog questions,
answered honestly.

My dog will not sit still. What photo do I need?+

One sharp shot is enough. Treats in your other hand, daylight, eye-level. Outdoor photos at the park work brilliantly. The model is trained on real candid pet photos. If we can see their face and breed markings, we can paint them.

Does the portrait actually look like my specific dog?+

Yes. The model is trained on identity preservation, so your dog's breed, fur markings, eye colour, ear shape and face read through every style. Dachshunds to Great Danes. Huskies, Malamutes and German Shepherds. Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, mixes and rescues. Every preview passes a likeness check before you see it. If the six previews don't look like them, you don't pay.

Memorial portrait for a dog we have lost?+

The Memorial style is one of the six, designed for exactly this. Soft directional light, peaceful expression, warm sepia tones, no religious symbols. We treat memorial orders with extra care: gentler email copy, no upsell prompts, and the option to add a bespoke note. Email [email protected] if you'd like us to handle anything specifically.

How are the portraits made?+

Each portrait is composed in our atelier through six considered style treatments we built and refine continuously, engineered to preserve the specific features that make your dog look like your dog. We then print your chosen portrait on museum-grade archival giclée paper, the gallery standard, and ship it framed-ready.

How long does it take? When will it arrive?+

About thirty seconds to see your six previews on screen. Once you approve your portrait, your print is produced and shipped on tracked An Post, arriving in roughly three to six days. Prefer it on screen? The digital portrait arrives by email.

What sizes do the prints come in?+

€69 · the 30×30cm print. €99 · the 40×40cm print, our most loved size, with free tracked shipping. €129 · the 50×50cm statement print, free tracked shipping. Every print ships framed-ready on museum-grade archival giclée paper with a numbered certificate in your dog's name. Prefer it on screen? The digital portrait is €29.
