As you are out and about or in your own home study the shoes you see on the street, in the cafes, at school or work, or in your own closet. Shoes of all types. Look at their shapes, their style, their shadows, their color, how they use the space around them or create space on their own. Are they new? Are they old? Are they still in the box? Do they show their wear? Can you see their personality?
One artist I can think of who painted his shoes was Van Gogh.
The Goal:
You can shoot images of your own shoe/s, or use someone else’s shoes – or even go out and take images of the shoes of total strangers.
