Tortie Shorties Review: Who doesn't love looking at pictures of beautiful cats? From glamour shots to candids of cats doing everyday "cat stuff" there's huge satisfaction in getting that purrfect picture. Photographing cats is very difficult though, as every cat owner discovers. It takes patience, persistence, and a good amount of tricks up your sleeve. As much as I enjoy every aspect of pet blogging, photography is something I continue to struggle with; my greatest issue being that my house is as dark as a crypt and natural light is hard to come by. Thanks to this book I learned a bunch of tips and workarounds to help improve my efforts with regards to lighting, but also other techniques such as staging a picture, making the most of whatever camera you have, and how to use your cat's regular habits to your advantage. Professional and amateur photographers alike will find this book to be informative and entertaining (plus beautiful pictures of the author's cats Archie and Lucy are used as examples of the techniques!) - Melissa's Mochas, Mysteries and Meows (mochasmysteriesmeows.com)
Our overall verdict: If you are looking to improve your pet photography or are in fact just starting out when this is the book for you! Easy explanations and fantastic photos and diagrams will guide you through best practices on your venture to take the purrfect photo of your cat. - Katzenworld (katzenworld.co.uk)
