Nicolas Menu, Photographer, New York

Description

A high-angle still life photograph features a pair of black leather slingback shoes resting centrally upon a white rectangular board. Surrounding the footwear are delicate stems of dried baby's breath flowers, a stack of white paper cups, and a brown paper cup. The arrangement is set against a background of brown cardboard and a dark tangled cable, creating an industrial yet rustic composition. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting the smooth texture of the leather and the textured surfaces of the surrounding props.
