Description

This black and white, high-angle shot captures a baker's hands in the act of kneading dough. The hands, dusted with flour, press into the pale dough on a wooden surface that is also lightly covered in flour. The lower part of the baker's torso is visible, the baker is wearing a white apron or towel tied at the waist. The stainless steel equipment below provides a glimpse into a commercial kitchen setting. The neutral tones and soft lighting create a timeless mood. The composition focuses on the tactile process of bread making.
