About karinelsu

A chemist by education and self-taught photographer, painter and writer I combine right and left brain hemisphere in telling stories, unwrapping our psyche, and asking questions through my photographs. I like to find the quaint, disregarded, overlooked.

When I was working with these photos after the shoot I realized something. Yes, this is a stunning, flirtatious shoe that makes my knees all wobbly and weak. But like humans prefer photographers that make them look beautiful, these shoes seem to be calling me to take their portrait.

“Pleeeease, you have to!” (flexing muscles and batting eye lashes). “You make me look beautiful.”
“But you are beautiful.”
“I know…” (flattered giggle) “But you can capture it. Pleeease…”
“Oh okay. Will you let me wear you then?”
“Are you kidding? I am so out of your league! How do you like this pose?”
