Description

An eye-level, overhead studio shot shows a single black Mary Jane style shoe. The shoe is covered in silver studs, with a black strap and insole. The backdrop is a light-gold, shiny fabric that resembles satin. The light source is above, creating a defined shadow on the fabric that radiates out from the center of the frame. The composition is vertically oriented, emphasizing the central placement of the shoe. The lighting creates strong contrast with dark blacks and reflective, bright highlights.
