Meet Braun. He's a 4 month old Bengal.









More kitties to come.

Dunno about Irma Peto.... but my Mrs just lost her mind . Beautiful kitty indeed.

Thank you Colin This is very kind of you

Braun is a beauty, so elegant in the first picture!! All pictures are beautiful!! The background goes perfect!

He looks a bit curious in the second, I love those ears... He has beautiful eyes as well!!

His fur is gorgeous... and very interesting because in the #3 you see only black and white but in #4 you see that he has some golden as well... Lovely, really...

Is it a new backdrop? The color is just lovely!!

Excellent pictures, Colin
Thanks again, I am very happy!!

Thanks SG and Irma. You are also very welcome Irma. I'm please you like him so much. The backdrop isn't really new but it just happens to go well with the browns in cats. I've tried to get away from using the shimmering blue I've been using as there is too much colour bleed onto the cats with any white on them. You'll find in this series of cat photos there will be quite a lot that have been photographed with the red. One with a very light beige and a couple with a deep emerald green.

This kitty does have a lighter colour between the rosettes on his back and has a golden brown on his belly as you have noticed. This breed pretty much all have the same markings but the shades of browns can vary. There was one Bengal I would love to have photographed but didn't get the chance. He was also a young one about 5 months and had light brown rosettes (spots) and his fur was blond. Also known as a Blond Bengal. Very beautiful.

I have many more images to post and will do so one series at a time. Each series will be of a different cat.

Are these backdrops you use brought ones? or did you make them yourself? I haven't seen any like them before, they look great!

I use fabric instead. They don't need to be very large for cats. Thanks Schell.

Excellent portraits, Colin! Braun is adorable!

I don't know anything of Bengals (nor of any other breed), do the tails get thicker when they grow up? With Lucky it was like this, as a baby she had a very thin and pointy tail, a bit shorter than Braun's. This and the thick paws, and of course the curious face, makes me go all fuzzy in me belly, if you know what I mean.

He's a real beauty...You've definitely captured the "nature of the beast" with this one!
