Turn a favourite photo of your dog into a Corten steel portrait made in New Zealand. It can be a gift for someone who takes their dog everywhere, or a way to remember an old mate.

Shop the Custom Pet Portrait or ask us which photo would work best.

Rusty Deer custom Corten steel pet portrait based on a photo
An example from our Custom Pet Portrait range.

What we can make

  • A head-and-shoulders wall portrait. A clear close-up gives us the ears, eyes and markings that make your dog recognisable.
  • A full-body garden silhouette. A side-on photo helps us capture the outline, stance and tail. Include the paws and leave a little space around the dog in the photo.
  • A portrait with a name. Ask about adding their name to the artwork. If you’d prefer a simple garden marker, see our personalised pet memorial signs.

Choose a photo that shows what makes them yours

Use a sharp photo in good light. For a face portrait, send one where both eyes and the shape of the ears are easy to see. For a dark coat, a photo with light on the face helps show the details. If you’re choosing between a few, send them together and tell us which expression you like best.

Let us know where the piece will sit and roughly how much room you have. We’ll send a mock-up so you can check the likeness and any spelling before we cut it.

Choose a portrait size or get in touch with your photos.
