Shawnie Forgue - final project

For my final project, my proposal was to photograph people’s faces as well as their hands and then pair the images up in a diptych set. The initial vision I had in my head of the project was a face (not smiling) photo on top, and hands on the bottom, both photos in black and white. The images would be in a diptych rather than two separate photos put together to create more cohesiveness between them. I specifically wanted to photograph people that are important to me, as well. To me, you do everything with your hands and your hands say a lot about you. That’s why I’d like to pair up people and their hands.
