Footwear

Here are a few of my shots from my footwear project.

My favorite shot of the four, but the one that was graded the poorest and got the most critical reviews because the footwear "wasn't dominant enough". I disagree, but I also don't take negative criticism well either.

Another that garnered negative criticism. I thought this worked because of the contrast between the sandal and the blanket, the sharpness of the Rainbow logo (which is also the first thing your eyes are drawn to), and the interesting angle. The concept is boring, I know, but I thought it was a good quality image at best.

Apparently many of my classmates thought the shallow depth of field was ineffective in this shot. Again, I disagree. I think it creates visual interest by putting the peep toe element of the shoe in the forefront. I also feel that you can still see enough of the shoe to keep you curious about what they look like in focus. I also used this angle as a contrast to my other shot with heels in it.

This was (apparently) my best shot, though I didn't think it was. I thought it was simple and very effective because it put the product into the home and the sphere that a potential buyer might view them in. My professor said something about the lighting and the steps and the second shoe but I really can't figure out what he meant.

  1. the first and the third are my favorites, i like the first one because you have like "shoes in action" it looks very natural to see the dog with the shoe, but also like you captured something special, and i like the 3rd one for the direct opposite, its very still life and the curvy up close angles on the peeptoe and sole were perfect, the whole picture is visually appealing in that your eyes trace the curves and make you curious as to what you cant see(one of my favorite parts on any pictures)
