Hands
Images of hands can be expressive because of their age, the textures and colours of skin or through their pose and activity. Dorothea Lange took many photographs of the hands of workers in the Dust Bowl, California. Angèle Etoundi Essamba uses her photographs to celebrate the identity and strength of African women, often including their hands as a significant aspect of the composition. Philippe Halsman and Herbert Bayer used hands to create surreal imagery in their photographs and Tim Booth has studied hands in close-up, in black and white and in an extensive variety of contexts.
