Photo Essay
The concept of this photo essay is people and their hands, and what their hands say about them. Earlier this year we did an assignment called 'Revealing Subject;s Character.' I wanted to take this a step further showing their character through their hands as well as their faces. I put the face portion of the dyptichs into black and white to show that the face isn't as significant as the hands, who tell the true story of the person. It's like saying the face is just the cover of the person, whereas the hands are the depth and detail within. I focused on framing the shots closely around the subject's face and hands. I also wanted the lines to lead your eye around the photograph, making it more visually intriguing.
