This portrait is my cat, Ruby. She is the most important thing in the world to me and I wanted to involve her somehow in this photoshoot, and the intimate category seemed like the perfect opportunity. I tried a lot of different angles and poses to get something different than just a snapshot of a cat- I wanted it to be interesting and sort of a unique view than someone would usually expect or be able to see. She's very skittish and not friendly towards strangers, so getting this close to her would likely not have been possible for someone else.
It was a little bit difficult because she's a cat and has a mind of her own and did not want to cooperate with me most of the time. Getting her to look in any certain direction or hold any pose was almost impossible, so eventually I gave up on that and followed her around and captured more natural shots of her from interesting angles. This says more about her personality than a posed image would, because that's just not how she is.
The image was shot with natural morning light coming in from above through a skylight back home.
