WORKING FROM YOUR PHOTOS

Here at Enchanted Visionz, we take your "mundane" every-day photographs and turn them into magical, fantasy works of art. Please note that while we are able to get beautiful effects with our digital process, we still need the best possible start. That means, we need a high quality photograph from you. It doesn't have to be professionaly taken, in fact we prefer snapshots that you take yourself. However, we do need a high resolution photo to work from. If you are technologically challenged, you may mail us your actual photographs and we will scan them in for you. We cannot work with grainy, low resolution web images, so please keep this in mind when choosing your photographs.

TIPS ON TAKING YOUR PHOTOS

The ideal scenario is for you to envision what type of fantasy portrait you're going to have us create, and then set out to take some photographs with that in mind. Here are some tips for taking photographs of several different proposed subjects:

Babies or small children: Children are naturally beautiful and have exquisite skin! It is best to take photographs of them in natural lighting (outdoor sunlight coming in a window, or even outside). With babies, as little clothing as possible is best as it is wonderful to showcase their beautiful fresh skin. If you're having us add wings to your babies...be sure they are in an upright or tummy position. With young children, costuming is key. Think gossamer dresses which show the shoulders and arms for girls, and natural "less is more" outfits for boys. When posing young children, keep in mind the elements you will have us add.

Teen Girls & Adult Women: We specialize in turning teen girls and adult women into fairies, goddesses, mermaids and more. With this age group, the pose is the key to a successful finished portrait. Be a bit dramatic with your poses and wear something enchanting. Also, it's a great idea to give us several poses and photos to pick from. Again, natural indoor lighting or outdoor shaded lighting is best.

Boys & Men: With the guys, less is more in costuming. Consider a shirt off pose which would allow us to add leaves and other woodsie elements during the fantasy portrait process. If you have a favorite costume, wear it and we'll create the perfect fantasy backdrop!

Pets: We don't just create fantasy portraits of people! We can even turn your favorite pet into a fantasy creature. Maybe a faery cat or an elven puppy! Again, we prefer to be given several shots to choose from.

ANOTHER NOTE ON COSTUMING

It is really important to dress the part a bit in the photographs you send us. We can of course add elements in the enhancement process, but the more you give us to work from, the better your final portrait will turn out. Especially with children, we prefer costuming that shows off their beautiful new skin.

THE MORE PHOTOS THE BETTER!

The more photographs you can give us to work from, the better. That way, we can pick the one to work from that will offer the best potential.
