This is a personal project I created to communicate my visual interpretation of the Nike Sacai Waffle sneaker. While observing this sneaker I noticed the patchwork material conveyed a collage-like aesthetics. My goal was to create a backdrop that embellished this collage-like look and feel without overpowering the sneaker itself. I began my exploration with painting overlapping color hues on a large poster board with a sponge brush. Each brush stroke is a different length to connect to the asymmetric tones of the sneaker. Finding material like cardboard, newspaper, and magazine pages helped developed the final touch of the collage. I worked with photographer Kevin Crawley to capture shots of the sneaker from a cropped in view. This technique allows a focal point of detail for each product shot.
