Mr. Watkins’s Hands

Jerod Foster 8214 Mr. Watkinss Hands

I probably have this in a previous post (no doubt a failure of my memory), but I just wanted to post one of my favorite shots taken over the past few years. These are artist James Watkins’s hands. I have an upcoming Field Lighting post generated around this shot and a few portraits of this great ceramicist, but I thought I would go ahead and show this one. I just love the light, the texture, the work taking place, the solidarity of the subject, and the combination of a moving and a still subject play in tandem to make this image come together for me!

Hands are so important to many craftsmen/women and artists. For this reason, I’ll always consider this one of my best portraits!

Please provide any interpretation of the shot that you feel like…
