Examples from our studio
Mustard, rust and teal carry this mid-century pet portrait. Your pet sits in front of curves and flat shapes, so the finished picture reads like a printed poster. The colours sit in separate blocks.
Shoot in open daylight with the flash off, and hold the camera level with your pet's eyes. Fit the whole head in the frame and move in until the eyes are easy to see. Keep to one animal per photo, and a phone shot is fine. Our studio examples show the look on four dogs, two cats and a chestnut horse.
An oak look frame is suggested here, and you can swap it for black or white. The white mount adds a border between portrait and frame, the gallery look. Without one, the picture runs to the frame edge. Framed prints use a 20 mm timber frame, shatterproof acrylic front and 200gsm matte art paper. Canvas is 400gsm on a 38 mm stretcher bar. Art prints come unframed. Sizes are A4 (21 x 29.7 cm), square (30 x 30 cm), A3 (29.7 x 42 cm) and A2 (42 x 59.4 cm).
Add one photo on the style page and your pet appears in this look in under a minute, free and before you pay. The preview carries a watermark, and your printed portrait does not. Your pet's name is free to add, and we set it ourselves once the portrait is finished rather than working it into the picture.

Which frame suits a mid-century pet portrait?
The style page suggests an oak look frame, and you can change it to black or white to suit the room. A white mount keeps a border between the print and the frame, the gallery look. With no mount the picture reaches the frame. Choose whichever matches how the rest of the wall is framed.
Does the Mid-Century style work for cats and horses?
Yes. Our studio examples show this look on four dogs, two cats and a chestnut horse, so a mid-century dog portrait is only one use of it.
What should the photo show for the Mid-Century look?
Natural light, no flash and the camera at your pet's eye height all help. Get the whole head in the frame and move in until the eyes show clearly. One pet per photo. A phone photo is fine, and the page tells you straight away if the file is too small or blurry.
Can one portrait have two pets, or me with my pet?
One portrait holds up to three pets, or you with your pet, one pet with one or two people, or two pets with one person. Add one photo per pet and per person, and a selfie is fine. With a person in the portrait, one photo of everyone together also works, and you confirm you hold the rights to the photos. Separate photos come out side by side, close together, nobody hugging or holding. No extra cost. A few styles stop at two pets, shown on the style page.
What changes can I ask for on my portrait?
Each style page has an optional Special requests box above Add to cart. Our design team reads your note and makes the change before your proof, included in the price. People ask for the name smaller or larger, the name centred or moved up or down, wider or tighter letter spacing, two names over two lines, a background colour outside the swatches, a collar, lead or harness left out, a stray object behind the pet tidied away, the crop adjusted for more room above the ears, or an eye colour or coat marking corrected.
What if it does not look like my pet?
You are the judge, first in the free preview before you pay. If it is not right, try another photo or another style at no cost. Write what you would like adjusted in the Special requests box. After you order, a designer reviews the portrait to make sure it will print well, then you receive a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and if you want it refined at the proof, we refine it at no cost.
