National Kitten Day

July 10th is National Kitten Day!

This day was created to raise awareness about adopting kittens and cats from shelters and rescue organizations.

I don’t get many requests for cat photography.

I guess with a name like BARKography, it’s not an obvious choice.

I do occasionally get asked though and it is fun. It’s totally different from photographing dogs but it is fun.

Here are 3 tips for photographing cats:

  1. Be very patient. Most cats don’t know commands so you may have to follow the cat around to get photos of him.

  2. Get low to the ground. Have the camera/phone near the ground so it’s down at his level.

  3. Use a cat toy to peak his interest. This could be a ball or one of those fishing pole type toys. (I have no idea what they’re really called but you know what I mean, right?) Using one of these can help create some action photos of your cat.

For all of the cat lovers out there, enjoy National Kitten Day!
