As well as shooting portraits of the Cordwainers<\/a> and stills of a range of shoes for a new catalogue designed by Remember Creative<\/a>, I was asked by the client to take some shots emphasising the craftsmanship of the workers and the fact that each pair of shoes is hand made to order.

I also used available light to add an element of grittiness to the images.<\/p>\n
