A good portrait starts with a good photo. Take a moment to review these guidelines to help you choose the best photo for your portrait. If you need photo advice, please email me at support@lisylisyart.com and I’ll help you choose the best photo.

1. LIGHTING

Avoid photos that are heavily filtered, low quality and don’t show the true skin tone, eye color, hair color and essence of the subject. Choose a well-lit photo with natural lighting and minimal to no filter.

2. CROPPING

Be sure to select a photo that shows all facial features or most of the body features (nothing is cut off or hidden) Otherwise I will take creative liberty to complete the cropped-out part.

3. POSITION OF SUBJECT

Choose photos that shows proper angle and position of the people or elements within the camera frame.
