To help us create a stunning Midnight Oil portrait, please follow these simple guidelines when selecting your photo:

Clear, well-lit faces – Subjects should be visible and in focus. This helps us bring out their unique features with accuracy.
Facing the camera – Most portraits work best when the subjects are looking toward the camera. It creates a more engaging, cinematic result.
Include full or most of the body – While headshots are possible, Midnight Oil works beautifully when we can show more of the subject (e.g., head to hips or full-body).
High resolution – Blurry or pixelated images limit the final quality. Send us the original if possible.

Candid moments of affection – Photos of kisses, embraces, or joyful movement (like dancing or walking together) can be magical, even if not facing the camera. These are perfect as-is and will be reimagined in a richly atmospheric setting.

If you’re unsure whether a photo will work, feel free to send us a few options—we’re happy to help you choose the best one for your artwork.
