Shoe

Cannon 5D and lighting Kit used.

I was looking around the house in search of a subject to photograph. I wanted something simple that I could potentially make look interesting. Finally I decided to use this black shoe.


I imagine a shoe has been photographed about a million times, so i didnt want to just take a simple shot of a shoe. My intention here is to show that its a high heeled shoe without actually showing the heel however instead photographing it's shadow. I placed the shoe on a purple scratched surface, for one because I liked the colour and also becayse I liked the scratches. Furthermore the scratches look as though they could have been made from the heel we can't actually see.


I find the second image to be the stronger one because the composition is stronger and the shadow is clearer which better represents what I intended to capture.



Above: Increase in brightness and colour saturation for better results. It brighter the colour pink shows through more, which makes it a slightly more exciting image.


Here (above) I've added some noise, through filters on photoshop to gie it a grainy tv look which I like.
