Cat Portraiture Tips and Inspiration

My Dad and Me Black Cat Style

Our summer is slow in arriving but the opportunity for a fun photo is never far away now the weather is warming up a little bit, and we can sit outside on the deck more often.

We have three chairs around our small table as there is always a cat wanting its own space while sitting with us. Today it was claimed by our favourite black cat.

This is such a fun and lucky shot I have to share it. This is Taz and dad Paul as I grabbed my DSLR camera. Taz is more a man’s cat than a mum’s cat and he loves to perch beside Paul on the sofa when it’s cold. Today he wanted dad’s attention after we had finished gardening and were enjoying a welcome beer.

I was shooting with my 50mm lens (no zoom) but managed to frame the photograph is there is enough of Paul and Taz to make a nicely framed composition. The softly focused background (bokeh) is because I had set a very shallow depth of field f2.5 (my lens goes down to f1.8) which makes them stand out nicely.

  2. Cat daddies are the best! We used to joke about the man stuff Bear and The Boy got into, but there was some truth to it, even though Bear was firmly a Momma’s boy.
