Sorry. I usually try to avoid posting cat photos (the interwebs seem full enough of them already) but this one has a story behind it. My wife/business partner needed a new headshot and, as I was setting up the lighting, our cat Piña decided to make herself available as a stand-in while I got everything situated. She was a real pro. She hopped right into the chair and waited patiently as I made test shots, adjusted lights, etc. until everything was set for the real shoot.

I liked this shot in particular because it feels so formal. I added a bit of an oil-painting filter just to push it a bit further into the realm of those thoroughbred horse portraits. I think it would be perfect in a gilded frame, hanging above a cherry wood humidor full of Cuban cigars.
