Don't Neglect the Hands

SUMMARY: Consider photographing a person's hands to make their photo more expressive of who they are.


 

Although a person's eyes can be the most expressive part of a face, the "windows to one's soul", don't neglect a person's hands. While people speak, their hands may be constantly moving, showing a vast array of expressions that may make incredible portraits. Even at rest, the positions of one's hands, whether or not they are clasped, in a fist, relaxed to one's side, etc. can add greatly to the expression captured in a digital portrait.
