QUICK TIP
Cats are known for doing their own thing, so it’s important you allow them to rest if they appear sleepy or uninterested. We made a point of giving Maggie plenty of space if she approached her water or food bowl and took the time to reward her for good behaviour by petting her and giving her the odd treat (approved by her owners, of course).
Even those who claim not to be cat lovers can’t resist the heart melting cuteness of a kitten. But as irresistible as these playful bundles of fur are, they grow up extremely fast. It makes sense then to preserve this fleeting period of your feline’s life by capturing them with your Canon EOS camera.
However, if your cat isn’t old enough to venture outdoors, or is an indoor cat, it can be challenging to photograph them. It’s even been reported that black cats are being shunned by the social media obsessed, simply because they are harder to photograph. As our images of pretty kitty Maggie proves, photographing a black cat indoors doesn’t need to be that difficult. And if you’re a dog lover, the techniques in this project are entirely transferable, so your pet pooch needn’t feel left out.
