Saint Bernard Gifts
A Saint Bernard gift almost always ends up being about the face, so photograph that rather than the whole dog. The jowls, the folded brow, the heavy dark eyes. Fill the frame with the head, upload it, and the portrait keeps the expression that made this breed the one everybody pictures carrying someone out of a snowdrift.
Heroic by job description and extremely relaxed by nature. Saint Bernards are enormous, patient, damp around the mouth, and endlessly tolerant of children who have not yet learned the word gentle. They carry a formal portrait well because there is genuine gravity in the face.

Frequently asked questions about Saint Bernard portraits
Did they really carry brandy barrels?
No. That was added by a Victorian painter and it stuck. The hospice dogs at the Great St Bernard Pass genuinely did locate travellers buried in snow, which is the part worth keeping.
He is too big to fit in a photo properly. What should I shoot?
Just the head and chest. A giant breed photographed whole loses all its detail at portrait size, and for this breed the face carries everything: the jowls, the brow folds, the dark and slightly sad eyes.
Rough coat or smooth coat, is one better for a portrait?
Neither, and yours is rendered as it is. The rough coat gives more visible texture around the neck and chest; the smooth coat shows the shape of the skull more clearly.
What is the largest print available?
The Heirloom Gallery Canvas at 20 by 24 inches, $299.99. For a giant breed the larger sizes hold detail in the face that the smaller ones compress.
