Step 2 : Select Reference Image
This us the foundation of your portrait. Because In-Focus commissions capture the smallest details, skin texture, reflections in the eyes, the softness of hair, a strong reference is essential.
Professional photography is deal, but you can also achieve excellent results with your phone if you follow a few simple guidelines.
Lighting: Aim for a single, strong light source (natural daylight from a window works perfectly). Avoid multiple lights or overhead lighting which can flatten the image.
Focus & Resolution: Ensure the subject is in sharp focus. Modern phone cameras can achieve this, tap the subjects face on the screen before shooting.
Step closer to fill the frame, this helps me capture even the smallest details.
File Type: Send the highest-resolution version available (no screenshots or compressed versions from messaging apps).
