Hands Have It

When we think of portraits most of us think in terms of the face. But sometimes a portrait tells a story or depicts the person with no face at all. Such is the case with these portraits of fellow photographers, Daryl Black and Lenny Foster. Lenny, in fact, is a master of using hands to tell soulful tales from around the globe. Daryl's hands and forearms speak to her casual athleticism and show how relaxed she was when I pulled the trigger.
As an ardent student of photography and devotee of the classic black and white photographs by the mid-century masters I practice the medium with an eye toward graceful design. I view each frame as a discreet design project with the objectives of elegance, balance and precision. More images may be seen at www.steveimmelphotography.com.

About Me
- Steve Immel
- As an ardent student of the mid-century masters I practice photography with the objectives of graceful design, acuity, tonal range and craft. I print full frame as originally composed in the viewfinder. I have had dozens of exhibitions across the United States, in Canada and Europe. My work is represented by Wilder Nightingale Fine Art in Taos and the Taos Historic Museums.

Hands, feet - the entire human body for that matter - reflect a person's life. They are as much a part of the total portrait as the face, and sometimes, much more interesting. Thanks, Steve!
Well put, Daryl. I struggled to convey that in my commentary.
