Reflections - PHOTOGRAPHS - 3 (FINAL)

My inspiration is photographer Toufic Beyhum, he’s taking photographs of people at the Brixton Masjid, a mosque with a high turn out of young people – and an obsession with new kicks. (Link) They have to wear full-length dish dash – their only option to be stylish is through trainers. Looking just on the shoes they are wearing it is quite easy to say something about their personalities, behaviours. For longer time I though do I need same background or ask models to be in different locations. I decide good for black backdrop that only helps to thing about the shoes. Different environment could make wrong thoughts.

Shoes represents memories, where they have been, what have been done in those and how careful is the owner. I took test shots with my own shoes.

Another mistake, composition, everything on one side, only one shoe written memories are missing. I tries different angles, took pictures on same backdrop.
Two speed-lights from sides trough A4 paper, diffusing the light.
  I did talk with each shoes owner and asked what their taste of shoes mean to you, different question was included to remember what memories are happened in these shoes. How the personality reflects by wearing their stylish shoes.

Finally I add text on each image and it worked perfectly.
It was challenging for me because of picture count. 5 picture composition is not the best I have done. Also find difficulties pulling out the right text which presents their daily life and taste of shoes.
