Sorry about that batch rejection - that must have hurt. Well, barefoot running is getting big in running circles (still, a minority market to be sure.)

A good friend David S. forwarded this article a few weeks ago where he was quoted <a href="http://bit.ly/947sDt" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/947sDt</a> He has been a fan for years. It's the next big running thing to photograph and no trademarks to worry about. Step up (sorry about the pun) barefoot running shots.

The first thing I learned was be careful with the shoes! I bit the bullet and bought a few pairs of generic shoes. I would recommend having the women wear more form fitting shoes, trail running shoes can really make a girls feet look uncharacteristically big....

Deni and I gave up shooting running several years back when a large agency rejected an entire batch because "we can see the shoes." Good luck shooting running without seeing the shoes.

I assumed that it would be clear to folks but it definitely does bear repeating. Focusing on trademarked products (shoes or clothing) will be a problem. Also, even if there are no logos, things like the Adidas 'three stripes' motif are going to be rejected. Great point Ellen.
