Stunning and timeless collection of unpublished photographs of cats from the photographer who defined the visual vocabulary of feline image making for generations to follow.

Iconic cat photographs never been published before in over 50-60 years.

These photographic muses were Chandoha’s own family cats or rescue cats from the Greenwich Village animal shelter (the Chandoha archive has photos of the shelter from 1949). There was a level of unparalleled trust between artist & subject…

This volume includes his original muse Loco, who he found during a NYC snow storm in 1949 & Chandoha’s first photos of Loco’s antics were picked up & published by the picture magazines around the world at that time, going viral in 1949. From that time on, Chandoha’s photographic practice focused on cats (& then dogs as well).
Walter Chandoha, one of the world's most famous cat photographers, defined the visual language of cat portraits for over 80 years and took some 90,000 cat photos during his life. His signature lighting technique captured each cat’s unique personality, creating timeless, empathetic images that continue to inspire artists and photographers today.
