REFERENCE PHOTOGRAPHS

• A Three quarter angle view of the horse is attractive for head portraiture.

• Be mindful of lighting when taking your photo’s. The colour of your horse’s coat can vary in photo’s depending on which light they were taken in.

• Photos are best taken in daylight. The most attractive lighting for photography is early morning and late evening.

• The clearer/sharper the photo of the horse, the more detailed your portrait will be. Blurry or out of focus images are very difficult to work from.

• Choose an image that shows your horse’s personality.

• Head Portraits look good with a minimal background but backgrounds can easily be changed or removed.

• Photo’s are best taken up close rather than from a distance.

• When taking your photo, it is best to stand with the camera level to your horses head, rather than looking up at them.

• If you are not sure of which photo to choose, it might be helpful to send a few, and Susannah will help you decide which would be best for your portrait.
