Dog Portrait Ideas: 21 Scenes for Your Dog
Looking for a dog portrait idea that is more than a photo with a filter? Here are 21 scenes your dog could live in, from a Paris pastry shop to a cliffside pool. Each one is a real L’Atelier scene, built first and empty, ready for your dog to be placed into it from your photos. They are grouped by house, so you can browse by mood.

How to pick a format
Every scene comes in 1 shape. Portrait scenes (taller than wide) suit a narrow wall, a hallway or the space above a chest of drawers. Landscape scenes suit a sideboard, a desk or a bed. Panoramic scenes, twice as wide as they are tall, are made for the long wall above a sofa. Each comes in 5 sizes, framed or frameless.
Small dogs, big dogs
A small dog reads well on a counter, a table, a cushion or a float; a big dog suits a bench, a daybed, a lounger or a staircase. If your dog is very long, very tall or very fluffy, look at how much room the seat in the scene gives them.
An idea that is not here
If none of the 21 feels like your dog, Le Sur-Mesure builds a scene from your own brief: the place, the season, the chair, for 1 dog or 2. See every scene in L’Atelier.
