Walter Chandoha. Cats. Photographs 1942-2018
On a winter's night in 1949 in New York City, young marketing student and budding photographer Walter Chandoha spotted a stray kitten in the snow, bundled it into his coat, and brought it home. Chandoha turned his lens on his new feline friend--which he named Loco--and was so inspired by the results that he started photographing kittens from a local shelter. Little did he know he had just met the muse that would determine the course of his life.
Long before the Internet and #catsofinstagram, Chandoha was enrapturing the public with his fuzzy subjects. These images marked the start of an extraordinary career that would span seven decades. From advertisements to greetings cards, jigsaw puzzles to pet-food packaging, his images combined a genuine affection for the creatures, a strong work ethic, and flawless technique.
