Twenty Foot Photos (That’s a Lot of Toes!)

Link Roundup 07-12-2008 »

By Brian Auer • July 11th, 2008

Feet are interesting photographic subjects that often get overlooked because of their proximity to the ground. Feet can be very expressive of the person they belong to — sometimes even more so than a portrait.

The inspiration for this post came from our very own Epic Edits Flickr Group. Regular readers on the blog know that I pick out my favorite photos in the pool each week and display them in a weekly feature. In the last two or three weeks, I’ve been seeing a lot of feet show up in the pool — and most of them were really good!

So all 20 photos below are from our Flickr group. Individually, the photos are great… but as a collection, they’re very powerful. Enjoy, and take some inspiration for your own photography.

Foot photos for me carry that stigma of the “foot fetish” - perhaps because it gets mentioned on flickr so often. I haven’t taken or fav’d many shots probably because of that.

Irrespective of that I think the feet in the car is quite clever.

I’d love to see more of these themed posts (but I have no suggestions as yet)!

I love this! I can’t believe I’ve missed some of these in the pool; they’re all fantastic! I definitely have some new favorites.

Thank you again for including me
