Retro Steps

I was given a new brief at college recently, the outcome was one still life advertising image of a shoe. I had to pick the theme out of a hat and had to follow this theme throughout the project, I picked 'retro steps.' 

 

The first thing that came to my mind was platform shoes and bell bottomed jeans, after researching what retro actually meant, I found out retro referred to anything from 10-15 years ago so I had loads of years and different fashion trends I could choose from. I finally decided to focus on a 70's inspired image, my idea original started off with a punk feel with studded heels, this then changed into a generic rock theme. As my family are notorious Rod Stewart fans (it gets ridiculous) I had plenty of old vinyl's and cassette tapes to choose from to use in my image. 

 

My final image turned into more of a Rod Stewart inspired look which is still in keeping with the retro theme. 

 

This is how the composition of my image started off, I was having troubles with the lights as they kept going into error mode and the radio slaves weren't working and I think that's why my composition looked terrible as I was wasn't in the right mind set.

 

 

After some well needed help and moving of props, my final image looks like this:
