Cat Heads

This personal project came about by accident. Each time I was set up to photograph a dog portrait a curious cat would walk on set. Cats love paper! It was as if the cats were demanding their close-up. Unlike dogs, who freely express their emotions cats are bit more challenging to read. You can usually tell a cat's mood by the expression in their eyes and sometimes the smack of their tail.
