From 2013-2014 I volunteered at First Avenue Shelter in Eugene, OR, taking photos of the resident cats. Animals are much more likely to be adopted if their photos are high-quality, clean, and well-lit, and I wanted to help out. At the time I only had a 55-200mm lens so it was hard to shoot inside a small room, but shooting a ton of photos let me find the best ones and make them appealing. Here’s a small selection of them.
