Please don't mind this, but the appropriate title could have been "Beauty and the Beast"
I am sorry if you didn't liked the comment.
But the this is very creative thought.
nice collection. I think the placement of the photo is distracting, as it pulls attention waaay to the edge of the frame, far away from the sneakers that are the apparent intended focal point.
I like the concept, but the light is terrible. It is too harsh. It would have been neat to create a sublte spotlight effect it would have maybe added some drama to your picture. The number on thing that will make your shots more professional is how they are lit, it is an important skill to master. Heck I am still working on it, but it is the main focus of most of my shots
