• Photo Selection

  What if my photo is damaged or not of the highest quality?

  It is enough if the quality of the photo allows us to clearly see the details of your photo – but here are a few tips on what you should look for: 1. Send photos that flatter the photographed person. If you don’t like the way you look in the photo, if you think that your smile doesn’t look real, or your nose looks too big, try to pick another photo. Don’t expect the artists to make the person look much better than he looks in the photo ? 2. Try to send photos with the highest resolution. If your photo is less than 100 KB size, its resolution may be too low for our artists to create a good quality painting from it. 3. Pay attention to the background. If you have a beautiful photo of your little boy for example, but the background is filled with details that will detract from the painted portrait.

  Which photos can I use for my painting?

  You can choose any photo as you want. However, bright photos with clear subjects tend to come out better.
