Note: it is just one single image, no composition of multiple images. But you are right, spacing out the feet was a challenge. Also to make all these steps within 30 seconds was a challenge. I made 15 takes in total, after some initial shots to get the framing and exposure right. I did put two shoes at the opposite angles of the triangle from the camera, so I knew the borders of the frame.

That's a lot of feet! Hoping your photographer's notes explain how you created this. It looks very complicated to achieve.
