Hands Project

1. Understand the Problem

Communication is key in this project and will be the focus in all photos. My idea of conveying a message through hands is how I use my own. The message that I refer to is my personality, and how I feel most of the time. A reason that the project was around hands could be that it's not what we're used to, and easy to compose in a shot. There are many options around hands from their position, to pose and character.

Goal: To reach the end of the project meeting all the requirements and show of the characteristics of hand into a photo.

End Objective:

- At least one proof sheet

- 2 Final prints, they must be original and unique from one another

- Optional Matting

2. Research and Develop

The things needed to be successful in the field have to be:

- A plan

- Inspiration

- Time management

- Know who/what I need

- Proper lighting

- An idea

3. Generate Possible Solutions

Time to write some of dumb things. I want to use my own hands to express art in my imagery. So to do this I'll generate concepts like:

- Curled up

- Hands sitting all around a table eating dinner.

- Warming up over a fire.

- Using a controller.

- Shifting through channels on tv.

- High five.

- Gripping face.

- Pointing at a person.

- Typing on a keyboard.

- Ringing a doorbell.

- Hand on the snooze

Styles to use:

- Warm colors.

- Shallow depth of field.

- Low or High saturation.

- Black and White.

4. Select and Develop the Best Solution

The ones that I personally connect with is sleeping and hitting the snooze button.

While I like all of them those two are the best picks in my opinion. My idea on use of colors in these compositions will be a contrast to each other, meaning one will be cooler colors and the other warm.

5. Model and Prototype
