Shoes

Anyone can post pics of their shoes, but it's usually sterile, plain shots of the shoe sitting on the floor fully in frame. Now this works for selling most products, but as a photo to be enjoyed it often doesn't invoke much response. Instead, try zooming in very close, capturing the texture of the shoe. Or try a strange angle like shooting the picture from underneath or up one side. Just because a person can't see the whole subject of your photo all at once doesn't mean it isn't effective. An air of mystery or a unique perspective can greatly add to an images charm and power. This image, for example, is the inside side of one of my athletic sneakers. There's more interest here because it is a focus of color, pattern, and texture, rather than just a picture of a shoe.
