16 Great Shots Of Cats Playing Around

Taking pictures of cats is never an easy thing to do! At one moment they’re ready to play and pose for your camera, but give it a few minutes and they’re back to sleeping.

However, getting that final, awesome shot definitely outweighs the “problem” mentioned above. Cats always act natural, and therefore every photograph you take is unique! If you need some motivation, check out these 16 beautiful examples of cats playing around (posted in no actual order).

We will publish a post on photographing pets in the near future, but the quickest way to immediately make your shots look more professional is to go lower! See how almost all of the shots above are captured at the cats’ eye level? Standing up while taking pictures of animals usually results in awkward perspectives.
