Advanced Tip: How To Photograph Shoes

Shoes can certainly be tricky to photograph, but here are a few easy tips:

1. Use a Backdrop: 

I like to use an old poster, since it isn't a good idea to put shoes on sheets.

2. Hang the Backdrop: 

Make sure the backdrop curves where the wall meets the floor. This will eliminate the horizon line, making it easier for the background removal to do its job. 

3. Angle: 

There are three classic shooting angles: from the side, 3/4 view, and from above as a pair

4. Shoot at Floor Level: 

Get as close to the shoe as you can and it will look more like the images you see in magazines

5. Use a Flash: 

This will illuminate all of the shoe's beautiful details!
