Five Continents, 22 Countries, 360 Photos

ADVERTISEMENT

In 2008 I captured my first traveling boot shot while visiting Spain. The idea was simple – I wanted something that embodied the spirit of travel and discovery, was a photo I could take while traveling solo, and which wasn’t just me standing awkwardly in-front of monuments. Since then I’ve gone through three pairs of Keen boots, three cameras, and a few pairs of flip flops. While the footwear itself has changed and the quality of my photography has improved the pose remains the same. This project is in no-way complete, and I am continually adding to the album.

The result is an ongoing project which has led to more than 360+ boot photos taken across five continents and in more than 20 countries.

Hi Khalid - The photos were taken between 2008-2014. I take the photos myself while sitting. I cover most of my expenses.

Time? Hard to say. Some shots take 30 seconds, other 2 or 3 minutes to shoot. All are of my feet, on my travels. Correct =)
