\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Hello, my name Alexandr Vlassyuk, a photographer from Almaty, Kazakhstan. I studied graphic arts at university, and have worked more than 10 years as a graphic designer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Photography had been my hobby since childhood, and it become a passion when I created a small photography studio.
\nI enjoy advertising photography as well as landscape, portrait and wedding photography and I shoot a lot for photo stock agencies such as shutterstock.com<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner custom_padding=”15px|||||” admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_column_inner type=”4_4″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.22.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]I bought my self a new pair of boots, brought them home and decided to photograph before test them out in the mountains.
\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2.jpg” alt=”Making of \u201cBoot with \u201cflying\u201d shoelaces\u201d” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ z_index_tablet=”500″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.22.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n

To shoot on a dark background I decided from the beginning. Black plexiglass was placed at the base and dark blue paper background. I hung the boot on the fishing line so only the toe was touching the table and took few test shots.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/3.jpg” alt=”Making of \u201cBoot with \u201cflying\u201d shoelaces\u201d” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ z_index_tablet=”500″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.22.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n

After reviewing the captured images on the monitor it seemed boring to me and I began to think what can be done to make the picture more interesting. The shoes had a long laces and it grabbed my attention. I thought it would look interesting if laces would be floating in the air.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4.jpg” alt=”Making of \u201cBoot with \u201cflying\u201d shoelaces\u201d” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ z_index_tablet=”500″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.22.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n

To make it happen, I installed metal pipe above the table to which with the masking tape I connected fishing line. The other end of the fishing line was connected to the shoe by the knot. The excess of the line was cut off so doesn\u2019t create more work in post-production.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After checking the composition again, I decided to place the right lace little bit in front so I attached a thin strip of plexiglass to the metal pipe and connected the shoelace to it the same way.<\/p>\n

Lighting setup:<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the left hand side I positioned stripbox 40\u00d7140<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/7.jpg” alt=”Making of \u201cBoot with \u201cflying\u201d shoelaces\u201d” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ z_index_tablet=”500″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.22.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n

For background, light with honeycomb grid 10\u00b0<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/8.jpg” alt=”Making of \u201cBoot with \u201cflying\u201d shoelaces\u201d” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ z_index_tablet=”500″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/9.jpg” alt=”Making of \u201cBoot with \u201cflying\u201d shoelaces\u201d” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ z_index_tablet=”500″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.22.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n

Now we need to highlight the boot from the front. Here I used honeycomb grid 5\u00b0<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/10.jpg” alt=”Making of \u201cBoot with \u201cflying\u201d shoelaces\u201d” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ z_index_tablet=”500″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/11.jpg” alt=”Making of \u201cBoot with \u201cflying\u201d shoelaces\u201d” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ z_index_tablet=”500″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.photigy.com\/school\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/12.jpg” alt=”Making of \u201cBoot with \u201cflying\u201d shoelaces\u201d” show_in_lightbox=”on” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ z_index_tablet=”500″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.22.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″]<\/p>\n

To complete the composition I added little bit of water around the boot and few drops on the boot itself.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And here is the final image.<\/p>\n
