CnBarefoot (足迹摄影)

Lily told me about a great place called Cross-Border Trade Town. There are many imported goods from all over the world, which sounds great. I invited Lily to go barefoot shopping. When we arrived, I found Lily had brought her mother along. Auntie helped watch the shoes while Lily and I shopped and took pictures. After a while, Auntie wanted to treat us to cold drinks because the weather was so hot and we were all sweating. So we continued taking pictures while drinking cold drinks at a cafe. Finally, Auntie also wanted to try going barefoot, as she believes it's good for health. So she also took off her shoes. I put their shoes in the car, and we continued taking pictures. The mother and daughter happily shopped barefoot together like best friends.

Lu-Lu wanted to walk barefoot at night, strolling in an underground parking garage. The lighting was too dim at the time, and the filming quality was barely acceptable.

Fang has just graduated from university and enjoys being barefoot. She is currently looking for a job, and I invited her out for a walk on this summer noon.

Ying, who has a passion for art, is very interested in barefoot activities. She felt my previous works lacked artistic quality and gave me many suggestions. I decided to take her for a barefoot stroll to let her experience it. At noon, the ground was scorching hot, and when it became unbearable, she started running. While crossing the overpass, it was too hot, so she directly stepped onto my shoes to avoid burns, which was very cute. She is very interested in photography; in the future, she could be my barefoot photographer.

Ying has always been hesitant to try going barefoot in crowded places. To help her overcome this, I decided to first take her to a supermarket. Supermarkets are crowded with people and have sticky, slippery floors, making them a great place to practice the psychology of being barefoot. Ying requested to wear sunglasses, as it helps her feel more at ease.

The weather is gradually getting warmer. Ying, who often wears basketball shoes, experiences significant toe sweating and decided to take off her shoes to relax. We came to that small village from last time to enjoy being barefoot. Ying arrived at the familiar village, took off her shoes, and started playing barefoot.

Lu-Lu rarely comes, and coincidentally, a client requested it, so we prepared this barefoot farm work experience. Lu-Lu first walked in the field wearing high-heeled sandals for a while, felt uncomfortable, then took off her shoes, picked up a shovel, and “got to work.” After finishing the farm work, we walked to the village, just in time for the market, so we went to stroll around the market and were watched by many people.

Ying is a freshman at Ningbo University. As the weather turns warmer, she invited me to visit the campus, offering to be my barefoot campus guide.

Ying is a student who just started university. Recently, as the weather warmed up, she, who usually wears basketball shoes, wanted to relax barefoot. It happened to rain that day, and after the rain stopped, the weather was cool, so we went to a nearby village to feel the coolness barefoot.

Meng is a friend of Xia and has always wanted to experience the joy of being barefoot. I arranged this barefoot practice session for her. We started in a park, first taking off our shoes and carrying them while doing adaptive exercises in the park. Then, we placed the shoes under a bush and walked out onto the street. Meng was quite natural and not overly nervous, so I assigned her tasks like “stepping in mud” and “walking on broken bricks.” She performed well, showing great barefoot talent. Moreover, her toes are very beautiful, especially when moving on the ground.

Lu-Lu usually works and attends many events, often wearing high heels, which makes her feet very uncomfortable. She really wanted to experience the feeling of being barefoot again. I arranged this simple task for her: go out barefoot directly – find a bus – go to the supermarket to buy things – walk back. This shoot was very different from previous ones, as the location was arranged in the city center, with many people. Lu-Lu originally thought I would arrange it in the suburbs again, so she wasn't mentally prepared for this. She appeared very shy, saying many people were staring at her, and she felt panicked. We left her shoes in the hotel and set off, taking the elevator down, walking out of the hotel, and onto the street. Lu-Lu walked very fast, not daring to linger for a moment longer, as if stopping would attract a crowd to watch. She would stop in less crowded places to plan her next move. We arrived at a bus stop. I arranged for her to wait at the platform, intentionally making her wait for a long time to train her and help her adapt. Then we boarded a bus. There were quite a few people on the bus. Lu-Lu was very nervous but remained quiet, even finding a seat. After arriving at the stop, she squeezed through the crowd, got off the bus, and hid behind the platform. Afterwards, we continued walking, strolled around a commercial building, took some close-ups, and were watched by two older women, which made Lu-Lu very nervous. We searched for a nearby supermarket, then used walking navigation to start a new journey. On the way to the supermarket, Lu-Lu chatted and laughed, constantly joking about how many people were staring at her, saying some handsome guys even specifically ran out of their houses to look. After arriving at the supermarket, we strolled inside, bought two bottles of water, checked out, and left. Then we walked back, passing through densely populated areas. Lu-Lu was at a loss, walking briskly, avoiding people whenever possible. Later, we arrived at a small park. It was already dark by then. I filmed a few close-up segments and chatted for a while. Lu-Lu had an appointment with a real estate agent to look at a house, so I ended this filming session. I hope that through this training, Lu-Lu can adjust her mindset as soon as possible, overcome her fear, make barefoot walking a daily routine, and turn it into a fashion, because girls are really charming when they are barefoot.
