Long before the internet and the ubiquity of cat photos, memes and viral videos, Walter Chandoha (1920-2019) was delighting audiences with his masterful feline images.
During his decades-long career, which began after he rescued a stray kitten in New York City in 1949, he created more than 90,000 cat photographs. Many of his most compelling and timeless black & white works are collected in a new book published in paperback by Damiani.
Walter Chandoha: Family Cats from the Archive 1949–1962 includes an introduction by former model and fellow cat lover Grace Coddington, who writes: ‘Seen through Walter’s lens, you feel each cat’s personality beaming out, an endless supply of leaping, bounding, yawning kittens at his disposal.’
