The subject of my photo essay is hands. I selected this topic because i thought it would be interesting taking pictures of different hands and show how hands change over time. What i am trying to portray about this topic is how we use our hands every day for numerous things but i don't think we really stop to look at them. I made all my pictures in black and white because i think it really brings out the quality of each hand. Each photo tells a different story, for example, the first picture is a picture of two twins. They're holding hands because in reality, they are really close and do absolutely everything together. Also, the picture of my dads hands. Although they aren't dirty, you can tell he does construction work because there are callices all over his hands. I don't really have a order in which my pictures go, i just kind of put them together letting each picture tell its own story.
