Week 2: Photo Shoot

Craft
For this shot, I use my Kodak DX6490 digital camera at close range with preset settings for close range shots. The shot was taken in a well lit room with florescent lighting and white walls. I also used a small can for a makeshift tripod to hold the camera still.
Concept
The concept is to focus on the immense detail and texture and still be able to recognize the genre.
Composition
The shoes were positioned in a generic fashion but then zoomed in with the shot to draw the viewer to the detail with emphasis on the clarity of the second shoe in the background.


Craft
Basically, the craft is the same, except for the use of a taller makeshift tripod and a tarp for a backdrop. This time, were not camera presents used except for a zoom.
Concept
This shot attempts at a narrative. The old, distressed shoes on the left followed by the new shoes on the right. The untied versus tied laces help emphasize this.
Composition
The shot reads left to right. The untied laces of the old shoe on the left breifly draw the viewer's eye there first.

Craft

The craft is exactly the same as the first, except for the tarp for the backdrop.

Concept

This shot uses business shoes so they are arranged in a more organized, presentational format, similar to something from a catalog.

Composition

The shot guides the viewer from front to back.
