My hand photographs

Here are my images that are inspired by Sanders hand series...

In this image I have captured my brother cooking, as this is his passion. There is a sense of delicacy in the way the hands are placed on the frying pan. I have used a small aperture to focus on the hands and drop out the plate of food in the background. This is what Sander does in his portrait image. It gives a sense of surrounding but doesn't take away emphasis on the hand position.

There is a sense of comfort. The persons hand is placed on a hot water bottle, so this sense of comfort is suitable for its context. The cotton on the bottle if focused at the front to give us some warmth form the material and I have dropped out some detail form the background. 

This image has been used to capture hairdressing. I asked the person to grasp the scissors in their hand in different comfortable ways, and I found this image worked best. The image is probably the less successful of the three as it is rather dark.
