The project that I plan to show at the BFA Exhibition show next year is my sneaker photography work. Many people find sneaker photography to be very enjoyable, whether they are a sneaker head or not. High-quality sneaker photos are important for reselling, showcasing the condition and authenticity of a pair. Additionally, sneaker photography can be a creative outlet for expressing personal style and appreciating the artistry of sneakers. For this sneaker project, I have presented seven of my best sneakers from my collection within each image. Some are Air Jordan's and collaboration sneakers. You will see my first sneaker purchase through the end of my last purchase. In addition, you get to see all of these different colors, designs, and learn behind the meanings of each shoe. Understanding the meaning behind sneakers is important because they've evolved from simple athletic footwear into powerful symbols of self-expression, cultural identity, and even status. Knowing the history, collaborations, and cultural significance of different sneakers allows you to appreciate them as more than just shoes and understand their impact on streetwear and fashion.
While I was working on this project, I want mention also that is a personal project as well. Though this is good practice of shooting product photography, the message I want to spread from my work is that taking photos of a product you love is a great way to capture its details, appreciate its design, and share your enthusiasm with others. You can even consider it a form of product photography, even if it's just for personal enjoyment. The question I ask myself is that “Why you might want to take photos of a beloved product?" Taking photos of a beloved product, like my sneakers for example, could be done to preserve memories associated with it, document its unique features, showcase its design, reinforce your personal connection to the item, share it with others, or potentially use it for marketing purposes if it's a product you're selling. That's why I believe sneakers are a great choice for product photography because of their inherent visual appeal, versatility, and ability to capture the essence of the shoe's design and style.
