Lighting

I thought lighting would be a good topic to choose with the sequins on the shoes and the different color background. For all of these I turned all of lights off in my room and used one lamp that moves to create different lighting. The first one a tried a dead on lighting to get the most of the shoes that I could. The second one I tried to see what would happen if the light was aimed primarily at the toe of the shoes. Then lastly I did the light from down below the shoes and it really light up specific parts of the shoes and left others in the shadows creating different looks.

Asymmetrical Balance

Asymmetrical balance as opposed to regular balance means it is not perfectly placed the same for both sides or both objects. The interesting thing about high heeled shoes is that they have so many angles and points to them that they can capture a really unique shot. By placing different ends of the shoe on completely different parts of the other shoe it creates a unique alignment or balance. Not one of these photos has the exact same look if you cut the picture in half and thats what asymmetrical is.

Texture

The main reason I chose the show as my main object to photograph was because of the texture of it's sequins. I of course had to get the up close shot for one of these and capture the black and silver sequins. They really brought in light to reflect its texture even better. The second photo a decided to capture the rough leather on the heel of the shoe.  Then the last photograph is the softer, more relaxed leather on the inside sole of the shoe.

Vantage Point

For the first Photo I used only the back tire of the bike very close up and focused on it while allowing bikes in the background to be out of focus. I thought captures bike through a bike tire would be and interesting vantage point. For the second photo I focused the foreground on the back tire but from a different angle. It allowed the whole bike behind the tire to be out of focus but still allowing the entire bike into view. The third picture I tried to get a completely different angle of the bike by focusing the foreground of the handle bars and some of the mid-ground for an entire new view.
