Undercats: Cats And Owners In Purr-fect Unison
These images offer a purr-fect blend of cats and their owners.
Photographer Sebastian Magnani, 28, has cleverly spliced the furry features of pet pussies with the head and shoulders of their owners.
In a series called 'Undercats', the Swiss photographer shot the owners and their respective pets in the same portrait style.
Then he used expert photo-manipulation techniques to seamlessly transplant the feline faces onto the human bodies.
Highlights include a lady called Daniela's hair blending perfectly with the face of her ginger cat Micky, while other owner Mariette and her cat Salem both don the same crash helmet.
Undercats follows Sebastian's internationally-renowned - and similarly-themed - Underdogs set.
For this project he travelled for a week around Switzerland visiting the owner's home to shoot them there. "One is my father Ermano," he says. "Some are friends of mine. Some answered me on my Facebook post. Some contacted me directly per email."
Sebastian says splicing of the humans and pets took about three weeks of his free time, with 6-8 hours spent on each image.
He explains: "When I'd made the first part of my Underdogs, for me was clear, I wanted to create the same with cats. And I was really looking forward to see more combinations. I am also so fascinated by the eyes of cats.
"Unlike dogs, cats all the same head form, so there is not so much difference between each other.
"It is in the eye of the beholder whether cats look like their owners like people say dogs do. But for me the eyes so strong and characterful.
"I think the title Undercats is not the same as Underdogs, it has a softer meaning and that's the reason why I've chosen the title."
