British photographer David McEnery, who was called a cartoonist with a camera, was best known for his endearing and amusing images of cavorting kittens and cats. McEnery (1940 – 2002) began his career in his teens by working as a photojournalist for a local newspaper. When he successfully offered a funny photo to a national newspaper, he decided to become a freelancer, and his work became a regular feature in numerous newspapers and magazines worldwide. McEnery manually enhanced his photos with simple props, creating enduringly charming work that still elicits chuckles today.
