My Pro Photos!

April 6, 2015 By: Summer Samba68 Comments

I did practice my poses... but didn't use any of them!

Remember a few weeks ago, at one cat show I had some real, professional photos taken? I got the proofs a while back but have been too busy to share the best ones with you! So finally I get to have pictures without a busy, messy background with sneaky photobombers hiding behind me.

I was not amused

True, sometimes my human has tried to create a plain setup with some lights, but she doesn’t have the fancy lighting equipment (or camera) to make the kind of photos I need. Plus, once again, the photobomber problem.

So here are my favorite photos from the shoot I did. I’ll show you the outtakes I liked the best first and explain why they didn’t get picked.

It's always the stylist

Can you see that the grooming on my chest isn’t very good? I blame the stylist (i.e., my human). Besides I was not standing very tall — I wasn’t used to the flash going off, and it made me flinch a little bit.

She may get a print of this, just because

My human actually loves my face in this photo but it doesn’t show my tail off to full advantage — and with a Somali cat, you’ve got to have that tail well represented!

I look like a supermodel!

This is much better! There’s my tail in all its glory, and I sitting tall and regal.

I think I was looking at a cat toy flying

This is the other one my human likes, because it is more horizontally oriented. She wanted the option of a more vertical and more horizontal pose. I think they are both really nice pictures!

If you are wondering why I had these done… I can’t tell you right now! Because it may not happen. But if it does, I will let you know right away!

    […] 4×6 horizontally oriented photos… and we don’t have any! The ones we liked from the pro photo shoot were oriented vertically, and no amount of Photoshop was going to make them into the format […]
