Stripey Poses

May 23, 2023 By: Summer Samba12 Comments

Summer poses for some stripey photos as the afternoon light comes through the shutters.

At a certain point in the late afternoon, sunlight comes through the living room shutters to make cool shadow effects. Usually, my human thinks they are too harsh and contrasty for good photos. But this time she decided to make use of them, and had me do some photos.

I tried a few different ways to pose for the camera.

The most challenging part for both me and my human was making sure the stripes fell in the right place and didn’t cover important parts of my face. It was hard trying to make the head tilt work.

Eventually we got it right.

And of course I had to stand up in a few photos.

    Have you ever counted (or do you normally) the number of treats
    you can expect during a short photo session? Or, is it one treat
    per picture? How about during a long session? We all know that
    treats are always involved…even peach cat knows this.

    I like this. Mom’s son and she go round and round about shadow. Mom doesn’t mind it at all to see differing lighting in a picture. He can take a picture postcard quality and look photos. Mom likes “texture”.
