1. What do you like about your image?
- I like how cleanly I managed to select the shoe from the background. I also like the use of black and white, although the product doesn't actually look like that.
2. What would you have done differently to change the outcome of the image?
- I would have loved to use a tripod. I was shooting in pitch-darkness, save for a desk lamp, so there was a limit to how far I could bend while hand-holding the shot. A tripod would have allowed for a lower ISO, too. I would have also liked to experiment with more extreme light angles for even more of a contrasty, low-key image.
3. What photoshop techniques did you use?
- I used Select and Mask to feather my selection, camera raw filter to get the contrast right (and also to convert from the RAW file), the B/W adjustment layer, and Bevel & Emboss for the Nike logo.
Here's the same picture without the B/W adjustment layer, just in case I get called out for false advertising :)
