This is my spin on Helmut Newton's classic heel photo "Chaussure-Monte Carlo" [link]
It's for a school assignment - topic is postmodernism, appropriating classic images etc.

Shoes & leg modelling: *khairi :heart:



feedback greatly appreciated =]

It's better with spots! I think you got the focus spot on. Not a fan of stockings.. but it's great shot.

hehe i love the spots =D

i don't really like the stockings either, especially as i kind of tore them beforehand, hence the lines across her ankle. but without them, her leg was far too overexposed, and really paled into the background. so i kind of got stuck with them as a compromise.

thanks a lot =)

cool work :clap: You've captured a very classical look here, loving your work
:iconjohdie:
Yeah I assumed that would be the case without them. I don't think it's so bad with the line there.. kinda adds something.

thankyou so much! :cuddle:

it's such fun working with classic images like this. it's like.. stealing.. but not. haha. i don't know how to explain it.. but it's so much fun being able to put your own spin on such a gorgeous old photo.
:iconeeron:
No problem :)

I remember that feeling when i was studying Franz Marc for my college work. So great to have the idea already there and then to do your best job to copy it. I miss those days :(

AH I LOVE IT. Those are pretty much the most amazing shoes ever.
