People Who Look Like Cats! Is it possible? Eventually yes!Gerrard Gethings is a photographer who created a series of photos with people who look like cats. The people depicted are not the real owners of the cats but models that the photographer chose after casting. First, he made the portraits of the cats and then he tried to find the double based either on a particular sign or on a pose the cats were taking.
Anyone who approached Gerrard for his work agreed to participate. “I have already worked with dogs but I think cats are more beautiful. Also for some reason people are flattered if you tell them they look like a cat rather than a French Bulldog”.
“Photo shooting cats was a laborious process, unlike dogs. Dogs came to my studio with their own will but cats…I have to visit them in their homes”. He traveled from Bristol to Cambria and Norfolk to Scotland carrying toys and snacks, without knowing if it would be successful.
Some cats just stubbornly refused to get out from under the bed for the photo shooting. Other times, he would set up the equipment and lights and the cats would be around. Then, as soon as the camera was out, they would go and hide and never return. “It seemed like they did it on purpose”, Gerrard added.
Over the years, Gerrard has photographed goats, cows, sheep and pigeons and also celebrities’ pets. He began his career as an abstract painter and worked in the studio of the legendary photographer Terry O’Neill. But while the job was interesting and he met a lot of celebrities, photographing celebrities did not suit his character.
