Welcome to the archives section.

The photo of the YSL shoe above left was taken on a cloudy and misty winter day.  I was assigned to photograph 8 to 10 styles of shoes from top fashion designers including Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel, for W magazine.  We moved around Paris and shot in different spots with different props.  I mostly shoot people, so when I get an assignment like this, its fun and a challenge.  I decided that I wanted to do something special with the YSL pump and utilized a technique that I'd been saving for years, just as it turned out to use for this occasion.
