Aaron Richter, Photographer, New York

Description

This overhead close-up shot captures the hands of an artist held open, showing visible pigment stains and smudges on the skin. The palms face upward in a gesture that displays the tools of the trade resting in open storage cases below. Trays filled with an array of colorful pastel sticks and sharpened colored pencils are neatly arranged across the work surface. The lighting is direct and natural, highlighting the textures of the artist's skin and the matte finishes of the art supplies. The composition focuses intimately on the tactile nature of creative work, photographed by Aaron Richter.
