Boman Research

I enjoy this photographer because unlike the others it disguises quite old fashioned shoes into objects with the same colour as them. The composition of the shoe is diagonally placed, as you can see it creates a slight curve between the heel and the bridge of the shoe. This is made so your eyes follow the shape of the shoes and catches your eye towards the fruit.
I lik the way it's kept the same colour as the fruit instead of turning into black and white because it gives more vibrance and quite an enjoyable view which creates a happy atmosphere.








Here is a shoe disguises with a lobster. I think this is very smartly created because the laces on the shoes match with the anteners on the lobster.
The photographer purposely used contrast between red and white because red is a very vibrant colour whereas the white is a very subtle one. So, theres a clash of colours to give the eyes attention.
The ideas immediately got towards the point of the shoe, the reason why the eyes look in that direction is because a triangle is used. I think the eyes realise that this image is strangely absurd because they're so used to seeing two pairs of shoes rather than a lobster replacing one of them.
The pattern on the lobsters back adds a lot of detail which makes your image a lot more interesting then leads towards the end of the lobster.
However, the yes remain on the plate because the lobster ends at the end of the plate and joins with the curve on the plate and end at the shoe again so it's an on going cycle that keep your eyes remained on top of the plate.

Whereas this image is disguised with corn. I think the texture of the shoe and corn disguise the shoe Also it keeps the eyes busy as if it's a real sweetcorn. As a result of the texture being effective, it makes the shoe look as good to eat as the actual corn.
The exposure in this image is slightly over exposed but I think this is purposely done because  it brings out the yellow- which connotes happiness and freedom.
The shoe used is like a workers shoe, so this is a metaphor for thanking a worker for doing the job accurately- like it's some sort of praise on the workers behalf.
I think its correctly cropped because it keeps your eye within the picture, for instance if the full shoe was kept in the image your eyes drift away, whereas cutting just the top is enough for the eyes to wonder back and for onto the shoe.
