blurredlightsbecause i'm not a very well-known photographer, and because i take any kind of photography work, office mate jill gave me another job after the make-up shoot. this time, my subjects were five pairs of shoes.
the thing about shoes is, they have their own personalities. you can't just shoot shoes. they have to go with everything. so we all brought props--but only jill's props actually complimented the shoes. jill's props and the mmda boxes we have at the studio, all of which were made by shi abella--wonder woman to us in the office.

we had multiple shots for each pair of shoes. except the first three. for some reason, the first three shoes quickly showed their personalities. we quickly saw how we want to present them. but the last two shoes were a challenge. they were jill's favorite pairs, and as such, we had to make sure they would be seen in a great light.
i guess this is why photographers must never be biased. not that i was. they were women's shoes. had they been shoes for men, this would be a different story.
in the end, we just shot and shot the shoes. afterward, we just let the graphic designer, the great frances tampinco, pick the photos that would best showcase the shoes. the photos, you can find at the link i provided above.
all the shoes were lent by sapato manila, and none of the shoes were harmed during the pictorial. well, we had to make sure the shoes were well-cared for. after all, they were just on loan.
