Walter Chandoha: Cat Photographer

We've shared other great cat artists and photographers on this blog, so I thought it was high-time that we gave world-renowned cat photog Walter Chandoha his due!

Walter's work with cats was mostly in studios and perfectly lit. Aside from cats, he also photographed plants and other animals, though he is best known for his feline glamour shots.

This is the kitten named Loco that started Walter off on his cat photography journey:

And this image of a motley crew of outdoor cats truly shows his talent and genius, it is my personal favorite:
