Photographer Captures The Amazing Portraits Of Black Pets To Show People How Awesome They Really Are
Everyone knows that black cats get a bad rep a lot of the time, right? And it's just because of this old, old old belief that they bring bad luck.
Sadly, it's not just black cats who go through this kind of judgment; every black-colored pet does.
And we don't really understand why.
They didn't ask to be born black, and that doesn't change how loving, loyal, and smart they can be.
Unfortunately, not everyone thinks that way, and there's still prejudice against them. Oftentimes, for pets in shelters, this causes them to be adopted last.
Fortunately, there are people out there set to change perceptions. One of those is pet photographer Chantal Levesque.
With her project Chasing Shadows, she showcases black pets and photographs them against shades of grey locations to display their spunk, personality, liveliness, and badassery without any distractions.
The only color that the photographer leaves out is that tiny speck in their eyes that lets us gaze into their affectionate souls. Through various shots, Levesque tells their stories and urges people to change their minds about these gorgeous pups.
Take a look at some of her best shots below.
