Description
*This is a commissioned piece*
This past Christmas, one of my best friends commissioned two shoe portraits for her gifts to her brother and sister-in-law. Since it would be obvious their favorite shoes were missing for a couple of weeks and this was top-secret work, we planned for her to steal the shoes and come by my house so I could take some reference pictures to work from and I'd still have full control of the lighting and composition (which is part of my process and why I like to have the actual shoes to work with).
The plan worked beautifully - and with an unexpected adrenaline rush. Who knew conspiring to nab shoes for an hour could be so fun? My friend enjoyed being in on the process - trying different arrangements, deciding if they should be paired off by gender or mother-son/father-daughter, and playing with how much light/shadow. Once we shot about 20 pictures we had the task of deciding which pictures she liked best. We narrowed it down to a few, with different elements from each to be incorporated into the whole, finished look. She decided on a light blue background color and then was off to return the shoes.
