Tim Marsella, Photographer, London

Description

This close-up editorial photograph by London-based photographer Tim Marsella highlights the textured details of western wear. The main subject is a worn tan leather cowboy boot featuring intricate red leather stitching along the upper shaft and a large metal buckle securing a strap across the instep. A prominent silver metal spur with a star-shaped rowel is attached to the heel. The boot is partially framed by distressed blue denim jeans at the cuff, and the entire composition is set against a dark textured horsehair or fur background. The lighting is soft and natural, emphasizing the grain of the leather and the polished metallic elements.
