Savage Beasts by Jonathan Knowles

Jonathan Knowles has really well thought out direction when it comes to his lighting.  This photograph shows the light directed right on the product (sneakers) without an overwhelming feeling.  The light is highlighting the product allowing us as viewers to immediately look at the shoes.  They seem to be lit from the top as well as the front.  If they were lit from one side there would be a strong shadow on the other.  Also if a product such as this one that comes to towards you as well as structured with height, lighting it only form above would make the rest of the shoes get lost in the grass.
