1. Hands can tell a lot about the person – the way how they look and what they do. This is why for this assignment you will be taking pictures of hands. They have to be obviously the main subject in your image, so pay attention how your crop and focus. Of course other subjects can also be in the photo. Try to capture the moments when hands are interacting with other subjects ( like for example “hands playing piano”).
2. You can post up to 10 images, just make sure that each of them represent different hands, instead of just being different angles of the same ones.
3. Post your photo to this forum, by creating a new topic. Don’t post your photo as a reply to the topic somebody else created. You can only comment on their assignment.
I can’t wait what you can come up with! If you have any question about assignment please post here.
