Tabby The Golden Persian Cat (Click to enlarge)
Meet Tabitha Scout, known to those who love her as Tabby. You’ve already met her house-brother, Addy, another gorgeous Persian cat. See the Atticus Finch post. They are a couple of showy heavy-weights, for sure.
I post Tabby today to inspire discussion about photographing cats. Most pet photographers will tell you – I won’t disagree – that getting an animated shot of your pet will almost guarantee the capture of their personality as well. However, shooting in the studio is a different animal altogether. Many times an older animal will not feel quite comfortable engaging in raucous play, but can be interested in what may be happening in front of them. Getting their attention is imperative.
If they feel safe from their apple crate vantage point, you will capture more breed specific poses. For instance, Persians are known to be quiet and dignified. Tabby is nothing if she is not dignified.
