i've spent stupid amounts of time today trying to do up an image in the style of Krista van der niet for the artist challenge... and also 52frames where prompt is "inspired by a photographer"...

see here for her images: https://www.kristavanderniet.nl/
and here for more direct inspo (you have to scroll thru a bit to find the one i mean): https://www.kristavanderniet.nl/portfolio/het-zuidelijk-toneel-20212022-2/

shot on iPhone using my watch as a trigger (which was tricky, btw... it only has a 3s timer and getting my hands properly in the boots in 3s was harder than it looks!)

i'm still a little uncertain about this image and would love some feedback... does it work? or not quite?

might try something else tomorrow... for now - i'm off to eat chocolate 🥴
It's an interesting shot but in van der Niet's images you know those are hands in the shoes and/or boots. In your shot one doesn't get the feeling of being off-balance and absurdity her images generate. I would say you're not quit there but close.

that would've sent me to the chiropractor for the back pain i could imagine by doing this. i get what dave was saying above there, but van der niet's shot i think is a full shot, thus the absurdity shows. but this still has me thinking absurd because i could imagine how you must've laboured to get this shot. the shot exudes that ridiculousness of the artist which you are ever capable of doing no matter who the artist is. top marks and aces!
