Walter Chandoha’s cat photography defined the genre in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, long before your Facebook feed could be filled with fuzzy felines.
Chiara Chandoha drinks milk next to a kitten in 1961. She is one of the daughters of legendary cat photographer Walter Chandoha.His work also defined the genre in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, long before your Facebook feed could be filled with fuzzy felines.Back in those days, Chandoha’s cat photos were everywhere: advertisements, greeting cards, calendars, jigsaw puzzles. They could also be found on posters, T-shirts and cans of cat food.
They named the cat Loco, and Chandoha started taking pictures of the new family member. He sold some of those photos to various publications, and before he knew it he had found his niche. “If he didn't have an assignment, he'd go outside. He’d see that one cat just had kittens, and he'd be there all day taking the pictures,” she said.
When the Internet became a thing — along with all of its cat photos and memes — her father embraced it, she said.“He always said that you have to know your subject,” she said. “Of course you have to have patience, but you have to know what are going to do at what time of day.”As an example, Fernanda referenced one photo where there are three cats washing themselves on a fence.
