The Life and Work of a Traveling Cat Photographer

Larry Johnson is a Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based photographer who specializes in cat portraits. He has photographed animals for over 20 years now. These days, in any given year, Johnson travels to over 35 major cities around the world to capture feline portraits at major cat shows.

Director Mark Zemel followed Johnson around for a weekend earlier this year during the cat show in Parsippany, New Jersey. What resulted was “The Purrtraitist,” the 10-minute film above that provides a look at Johnson’s life and work.

You can find more of Johnson’s work over on his website.
