I chose this picture because it was simple and on the point. It is apparent that it is selling the shoes and the viewers also focus on them. I also like its vivid colors, since I was so used to the black and white photographs. The shoes' yellow brings them out even more. This needed artificial lighting.

Richard Warren - Untitled

Richard Warren is an American photographer, based in New York City. He has assisted many famous photographers in the 1980's and has learnedto master photography. His photographs appear in many international magazines such as Vogue, Bazaar, Zink, Vanity Fair, etc.

I chose this picture because it shows the boots very well. The model's pose accentuates the lenght of the boots and the photographer's angle makes it look nice as well. This was not black and white and it also needed artificial lighting.

Steven Lippman - Untitled

Steven Lippman is an American photographer, based in California. He is a native Southern Californian and he was a former pro surfer, skate boarder and international fashion model, before jumping into photography. He has done a lot of commercial photography, such as for Neutrogena and Pureology.

I chose this photograph because even though, the shoes are not in the center, the model's pose makes the shoes point out. I am pretty sure that this photograph was not meant to promote the shoes, but when I first saw this photograph, my attention wen to the shoes. I really liked that about this photograph. This, even though it doesn't seem like it, looks like it was shot in a studio with artificlal lighting.
