[ Cafe Hopping in Singapore] Shooting Cats with The Photography Academy ( The Cat Cafe, Bugis)
Thanks to The Photography Academy (TPASG) for the invite to their first ever Cat Photography workshop. It was a wonderful and precious experience for me as I got to learn some great photography tips from trainer Irene Kuok (Chief Photographer of Cloud Productions). Shooting cats was a first for me and I totally enjoyed myself during this 2 hours workshop.

I really love the informal and practical approach from which classes were conducted. Fret not about having to sit through 1 hour of lecture. Information are dispensed every 15 mins or so after every rounds of practicals. There are lots of flexibility for you to put your photography skills into practice. Irene was also very engaging in involving all the participants. Feel free to ask anytime if you have any questions at all.
Without further delays, here are some of the photos I had fun shooting on that very day. Thanks to TPASG and the Sg Cat Cafe for hosting us.

Sleeping in peace, this cutie.
Mastering the perfect skill of balancing on 2 ledges...

Too peaceful, time to sleep.
It was really hard to take a selfie with the cats as I could not predict their reactions. Think it's better off to just shoot them on their own.
' Hmmm...????'
Tired from playing? The Cat Cafe also serves snacks, drinks and mains. Dine with the kitties and just be careful they don't come stealing your food. :)
