Finally, I have good photos of some of the finished projects lately! I think that the importance of having good pictures of your work can't be overstated. And I have to say - I'm just thrilled with how these came out.
All photos, with the exception of the two with Julie Bonney's copyright on them, are by Austin Lang. While I do well enough with product shots of my shoes, occasionally enlisting the assistance of a professional is warranted. Julie Bonney is part of the Bonney and Wills Shoe School, and took these two photos at the end of boot school. Austin Lang is a local (Olympia) photographer who also took the gorgeous cast photos for Tartuffe.
When I do take my own photos of finished shoes, I usually try to go somewhere outside, in nature. The background is nice, and the lighting is generally pretty safe. For really good product shots, you simply *must* have proper lighting, and know a lot more than I do about photography. Costumes are particularly hard to get good photo of yourself - the difference between a selfie or a snapshot in your living room, and a professionally done photo with a backdrop and good lighting is significant. Austin sure knows how to make me look good!
And yeah, this post is basically just picspam.
