The Gentlewoman Peeling 2026

Description

This close-up editorial photograph for The Gentlewoman project Peeling captures hands carefully shaving thin layers from a white block using a metal vegetable peeler. The action takes place over a pale yellow tray holding curled shavings of the material. Soft natural lighting illuminates the scene, highlighting the textures of skin, metal, and the soft block. The composition focuses intimately on the tactile interaction between the hands and the tool.
