The Catographer At Work

The Catographer specialises in capturing the many facets of cats that make us all go crazy for them.

Joanne Cheong, 37, adopted two feline cats after she left school in 2008. That got things going – headlong into an unintended direction. She found her love for both cats and photography, when combined with passion, produced results that evoked sentiments and emotions. Her photos tug at the viewers heart-strings and enable them to relate to the subject on hand.

Joanne and hubby now have a feline family of six – all rescued kittens. Making a living and career from her once-upon-a-time hobby is a feat she fast adapted to. “I totally get photographing them is no easy feat. I specialise in journalistic on-location portraits, where the kitties will be most at ease to capture intimate images of them at their truest self.”
