Shoe Envy

Photographed by Croatian shooter Midhat Mulabdić (of Benedetto Lee Photography) in the Hotel Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne, Switzerland, this image was based on the conventional love between female and shoe.

Here, the flower girl lives out her dress-up fantasy by putting on the bride’s coveted Louboutins. “I’ve been tired lately of the classic detail photos, and so I try harder to show them in real life situations,” explains Mulabdić.

“Of course, when I saw that the shoes were Louboutins, the shot definitely needed a bit more attention,” he says. “Since I live with two little ladies, my daughters, and of course my wife, I remembered their obsession with shoes…and who doesn’t want to have a pair of Louboutins in their collection?”

The only technical challenges, according to Lee, were not having that much time and finding a good place among the messy room. “We ended up in the hallway,” he says.
