About

This close-up portrait photograph by Bethany Reed captures hands carefully sharpening a kitchen knife on a green whetstone. The sharpening stone is positioned on a rich wooden countertop, with water droplets visible around the blade and base. The person is wearing a red garment, and dark tattoos are visible on both forearms. The intimate framing highlights the tactile motion of blade maintenance in a warm, natural light setting.
