Hands

The subject of my image is of my dad hand’s. The image is of my dad cutting a piece of wood for the boat that he is working on. The materials that I used for this picture was a light that was already on the saw. Why I choose to create this specific image is that is shows a lot of detail in the image. The elements that I used were texture, line and color. The composition rules and techniques were low key lighting and how I used it was I lowered the the brightness on my phone and I made a edit to the color. I also used selective focus how I used it was I only focused on my dad's hands and the piece of wood. How my project evolved was that I made sure that focused on my dad’s hands and the wood. What I changed was the lighting and I changed the color. The meaning behind the image is that my dad is cutting a piece of wood to put in the sailboat that he is working on in the shop. How this project relates to my life is that I grew up with my dad working on boats in the winter time. I think that the image could be stronger if the lighting was a little different.
