Hi.
How something looks in a photograph depends on the environment.
For example, in the photo, you see the right side of the leather shoe and a light source that reflects in it. A photographer flips the shoe, now it reflects the same source of light on the other side. The same thing happens to the other 2 sides. You project all 4 pictures on the same 3d models and get the same light source that is only meant to be in one place in 4 different places. You duplicate the shoe and get 8 light sources. Then you put it into ts4 and there this light source does not exist at all. Your shoes are lit the same way in any environment inside s4s, whether it be a kitchen or a snowy landscape.

Anyway, my point is the following: it is a better idea to model the shoe, set up weak sources of light, assign a material, then bake the texture from the controlled environment instead of projecting real-life photographs.
