Kris Ryan, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This tight close-up editorial portrait captures a person kneeling or standing on open metal steps while tying the laces of light-coloured high-top athletic sneakers. The subject wears dark trousers and a dark jacket, contrasting with the textured fabric and gold swoosh branding on the footwear. The composition focuses intimately on the hands adjusting the laces, highlighting the tactile mesh texture and supportive lacing system of the shoes. Photographed by Kris Ryan in Los Angeles, the image employs natural ambient lighting to emphasize the gritty texture of the industrial metal staircase and the fine details of the sportswear.
