Custom Portrait Image Guidelines
Photo Tips
Bright light
The key to an exceptional portrait lies in photo quality. Capture a new photo or choose an existing photo taken outdoors under the bright sunlight. If you are indoors, illuminate it with a white light ranging from 7,000 to 10,000K for the perfect shot.
Quality camera
We recommend using a professional digital camera or a cutting-edge smartphone with advanced photo capabilities for a portrait that truly captures every detail. This ensures optimal clarity and results you'll adore.
#NoFilter
We recommend avoiding filters for a portrait that beautifully mirrors your unique features. They can alter natural tones, making it a challenge for us to capture your true essence.
Full face
For a portrait that captures your essence, ensure your entire face and neck are visible to the camera, free from shadows. This helps in showcasing every nuance and detail of your features.
#JustSayCheese
A smile can light up any portrait! For a Custom Portrait that radiates positivity, wear your authentic smile. It's the finishing touch to ensure a joyful Custom Portrait.
Be yourself
Your jewelry or accessories tell a unique story about yourself. Display it proudly so we can emphasize each delicate detail and enhance the elegance of your Custom Portrait.
