Photo Information

Below is information on sending your photos to us for use in our products, picture sizes required, how we take the photos and how we create the finished print.

You can sent photo's to us by email to info@funpixuk.com, please make sure your email contains details of what products you are interested in and what work you would like us if any to carry out. Once the work is finished, we will email you a copy of the finished product for approval. Once approved payment can be made by credit or debit cards via pay pal or by cheque. Once we have recieved payment the product will be dispatched. Once the product has been dispatched the photo(s) will stay on our system for two weeks before being automatically deleted, we do this in case your decide that you may want other products from us.

When emailing photo's to us please send them in there full size, this lets us do the cropping and give us the best chance to get the best product for you.

Picture sizing. When you buy a camera or phone with a camera this is rated in mega pixels, i.e. 5.0 (meaning 5 mega pixels). Its very important you understand what your camera is before ordering from us. Most of our smaller items, will normally be fine with any camera, but the problem comes when you get to A4 and above. i.e. if you want an A3 print there is no point in sending a photo that was shot on a 2.0 camera as the picture size would not be big enough, this also goes for resizing your pictures before emailing. If you need more information on this or you do not know if your picture will work, please email us.

How to take the best picture for us to use.

Original picture.
Cut out picture.
Picture placed on background.
Effects added.

Make sure your subject is in the centre of the frame (Your view finder or screen) and all of them is in view, only required if you want all of your subject in the photo. Make sure there are no objects in their way as this will make cutting out difficult. If your subject is standing tilt your camera on the side (Portrait) if they are laying down, tilt your camera back (Landscape). Try and get an even light on the subject, use a bright room, or if using a flash, bounce of the ceiling if possible, try not to place the subject directly under a light. If you have a plain wall try and photograph the subject in front of that leaving a little distance between them and wall. Finally don't just take one photo take a few.

Fantasy Background taking. Before taking the photo imagine how you want the photo to look and on what fantasy background. Place your subject in a pose that will best suit the background. i.e. if you want them to sit on a mushroom, make sure they are seated correctly. If you don't understand any of this please don't hesitate in contacting us first for more advice.
