Great Dane Art
Great Dane art has a scale problem nobody warns you about: this is a dog whose head is at your chest, so the usual advice to get low produces a photo up his nose. Shoot level with him instead, and the portrait keeps the long rectangular head and the harlequin patching where it actually falls on your own dog.
A horse who has concluded he is a lap dog, and acts on that conclusion without warning. Great Danes lean catastrophically, knock things over by existing, and are gentler than almost anything their size has a right to be. They fill a portrait without any effort at all, which is part of why this breed makes such a direct gift: the picture is as oversized as the dog.

Frequently asked questions about Great Dane portraits
Is the breed actually Danish?
No, it is German. The Germans call it the Deutsche Dogge and it was developed there for boar hunting. The English name is a historical accident that has proved impossible to shift.
What height should I photograph him from?
His eye level, which for most Great Danes is around your chest. Shooting downward shortens the long rectangular head into something square, and that head is the most recognisable thing about the breed.
Will harlequin patching be accurate?
Yes, from your photo. Harlequin is torn black patches on white and the arrangement is unique to each dog, so it is one of the clearest tells of whether a portrait is really of your dog.
His ears are natural, not cropped. Will they stay that way?
Yes. Natural ears fold and hang, which changes the outline of the head noticeably compared with the cropped look in most breed images, and the portrait follows your photo.
