This shiver-inducing shoot from notoriously gloomy photographer Remi Rebillard is a fearful cinematic story. The strange shoe shoot fits right in with the body of photographs in Rebillard's portfolio, which through extravagant lighting, unusual and secretive settings and feet dressed to kill, will certainly keep you up at night.
Staring models Cara and Aerin, or their feet rather, the aesthetically remarkable piece uses fierce fashion footwear to tell the story of a chilling isolated presence. The breathtaking styles chosen by Don West include shoes by Gucci, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Valentino and many more. The dark, yet modish shoot simultaneously channels every woman's greatest dream and worst nightmare.
Implications - While art's meaning is subjective to its viewers, art series that create a general mood and incite particular feelings give the viewers a shared experience through emotion that makes the works striking and buzz-worthy.
