If you’re a cat lover, you’ll surely appreciate the unique and stunning portrait series of ‘standing cats’ captured by Swiss photographer Alexis Reynaud. With over 15 years of experience, Reynaud has a vast portfolio of commercial and artistic works, and his latest series is no exception.
Reynaud’s inspiration for the series came from his own cat, and he went on to photograph cats of his friends and friends of friends. What’s interesting about the shooting process is that each cat has been photographed in the house of their owners, using the same setup to give the impression that all the cats have been photographed at once. It took Reynaud several weeks to create the setup.
The photographer doesn’t use photoshop to make the cats appear as if they are standing on two legs. Instead, he uses studio flashes and a black background to create the stunning images. He did mention a little ‘trick,’ which he keeps secret, but it’s done during the shoot and not in post-production.
Reynaud loves cats and animals in general, and he ensures that none of the cats were forced to take the photos. The owners were always present during the shoots to ensure their pets’ safety and comfort.If you’re interested in ordering prints of the series, they are available on Reynaud’s website. And very soon, a book featuring the stunning portraits will be available too.
In conclusion, Alexis Reynaud’s unique portrait series of ‘standing cats’ is a testament to his creativity and love for animals. The stunning images are not only aesthetically pleasing but also showcase the personality and character of each cat. If you’re a cat lover, this series is a must-see.
