Unusual Angle for a Cat Photo

30/08/2020 by Marjorie Dawson 16 Comments

Today’s unusual angle for a cat photo selfie is Chenzou, the retired superstar cat from the cat cafe.

He is the wonderful cat whose other portrait won me the Kuykendall Image Award in the recent Cat Writers’ Association Awards and I wonder, can you work out how I took this picture?

I know it’s an unusual angle for a cat photo and it caught my eye when I was checking out my library for a photo to share. I hope this one makes you smile.

How It Works

Chenzou is in an eye-level perspex box attached to a wall. It is part of the route the cats use to get around the cafe up above human height.

  • I transformed it into monochrome because it helps the paw shapes look more defined.

I pointed my camera upwards and captured him from underneath. It may have been easier than some of the photos you see taken upwards though a glass coffee table. I didn’t have to lie down and point my camera upwards at least!

You may find yourself in a similar situation. You just need to hold your camera steady and just take a picture or two. Sometimes it works, just like mine.

    That’s definitely an usual angle, but it works! It makes for a fun and ‘different’ picture. Who says that they all have to look the same, right? Let’s have fun with our photography!

    WoWzers! Beautiful shot! Alas we don’t have a glass coffee table or a plexi-glass walkway (LOL) to get such a unique view of a cat’s belly from below. And even if we did, I’m not sure we would think to take a photo!
    We love your unique shots and keep winning the awards!
