He’s known for his underwater photography, but now Seth Casteel has taken to the air – with amazing pictures of leaping cats and kittens.
Casteel, 35, who lives in Venice, California, is the author of the bestselling Underwater Dogs, Underwater Puppies and Underwater Babies.
But in new book Pounce he captures adorable cats and kittens as they pounce and jump through the air, arms outstretched.
They are all shot in the close-up, mid-action style that has gained Casteel millions of fans around the world.
The photographer wants to entertain, but also to inspire people to care for cats.
He is urging feline-lovers to adopt a cat – or even two – from a local shelter and look after them by playing with them every day. Here MailOnline has picked out a few of the incredible images from Pounce. It’s published in hardback by Sphere and costs £12.99.
