Dorami Photo Guide

Photo Guidelines

A quick overview of the style and quality of photo's you need to upload so we can produce your animal art and pet portraits

Choosing the right photo!

The quality of the photo used in artwork creation is a critical factor that significantly impacts the final result. On our website, all showcased examples demonstrate the use of high-quality images.


An ideal photo would feature a bright and clear headshot of the subject. Using a smartphone to capture this image is perfectly acceptable, and the background behind the pet is not a concern.


If you have reviewed this guide and are unsure whether your image will be suitable, please feel free to reach out. We understand that it is not always feasible to take additional pictures.

Good Photos To Upload

  • Have bright natural light
  • Are taken at your pet’s eye level
  • Your pet faces the camera or slightly to one side
  • Is a clear headshot showing head neck and chest
  • Ears are not cropped
  • Sharp image, not pixelated or out of focus
