Photos of the Shoes Worn by Famous Artists on Stage
How much can you tell about an artist from the shoes they wear on stage? Florida State University student newspaper photo editor Matthew Paskert has been trying to find out. His project “A Shoe Piece” consists of close-up photos of shoes worn by famous musicians, comedians, and personalities while they’re standing in front of large crowds.
“Every shoe tells a story as it has walked the same steps as he who stands within it,” Paskert writes.
You can follow along with this project over on Paskert’s website.
P.S. Last fall, Paskert covered the campus shooting on his campus, working a 23-hour shift and getting interviewed by major news organizations around the world (e.g. CNN, BBC, NBC). You can find his images from that day here.
