About SwanCat

SwanCat is swan + cat. Swan migrates over plateau lakes, silent, far. Cat stays home, curious, close. Photography lives between: far places, brought home, printed quiet.

The name is the logo you see — dark swan #0F2F4A and teal cat #2AB8A0. No person, just light and place.

Currently pure exhibition — no shop. Prints & stock licensing via FAA/Alamy in a few days. All images © SwanCat. Contact when links go live. Site is static, no tracking, no cookies. Former programming projects /hirouter /rls archived, this domain now photography only.
