on Cats of The World Photo Exhibition
Since its inception in 2007, this endearing community
project has garnered a following among cat lovers, photographers, travellers as
well as families and children. It features
photos from aspiring and professional photographers from all walks of life,
illustrating that cats all over the world are the same - lovable and
purrrrfect! Photographing cats
is an art that requires patience and luck, hence this exhibition showcases the
fun and often spontaneous works of photography enthusiasts and cat lovers. Organisers Carlyn Law and Noelle Tan are both
passionate about cats, photography and travelling, and started ‘Cats Of The
World’ photo exhibition as a community pet project. The former journalists/editors,
who also run Sixth Sense Communications & PR Consultancy, are inspired by
the success of ‘Cats of the World’ and would like to give thanks to all the
sponsors, partners, photographers and supporters involved in the project. Of
course, the real heroes in this community project are the cats – each special
in their own way all over the world.
