Foot "Cubism"
My accidental career as a specialist in foot photography was kick started by a companion photo, Variation 1 of 13 -- Feetish, from the same session as this one here.
As explained in the commentary to the subsequent sequence of foot shots, the aim was similar to that of the Cubist painters, to try to show a subject from several different viewpoints at once, but perhaps in a sexier and more naturalistic way than that of Picasso et al. (A real view together with a mirror image view of two differently arranged things that are themselves mirror images of each other shows a lot of different facets of essentially the same thing.)
The composition of every shot in that first session was compromised, due to my using the camera for the first time and not realising all frames were overlaid by a date and time stamp.
The resulting recomposition of this shot is somewhat "restless", due to the eye having two centres of visual gravity to alternate between.
