Our top 4 quick tips for getting the best pet silhouette photos: 1. Have your pet stand or sit. Any background is OK. If possible have someone assist you by holding a treat out of camera view and tell your pet to sit while you take the photo. 2. Make sure the camera is at the same level as the subject's head. 3. Take the picture straight from one side. 4. Take as many photos as you can. If you are taking the photo using an iphone you can press and hold the shot button and capture many photos in seconds. Then simply choose the best photos and send them into us. If you are not sure which photos will work the best you can send us an email and have us review them for you at info@meirako.com
