New York Times bestselling author and photographer Seth Casteel’s audacious underwater photographs of dogs and babies have captivated an international audience. Now, he’s has found the perfect way to capture our other best friends: cats! And in true Casteel fashion, these are not just any old cats–these felines can fly.
At the heart of Casteel’s new book, POUNCE (Little, Brown and Company), is his commitment to showcasing animals who are in need of human love, attention, and care yet who sadly have not always received it. Casteel collaborated with numerous animal shelters and rescue groups throughout the United State and Canada to create his series of images. Every single cat featured in the book was available for adoption or already rescued at the time he snapped the pictures.
The book includes more than 80 previously unpublished photographs, revealing adorable cats and kittens as they pounce and jump through the air, legs outstretched—all in Casteel’s signature up-close, mid-action style. His latest collection of animal portraits features cats doing what they do best.
