Response

This is my response to Steeve Lunckers' work. Although Steeve Luncker didn't do exactly what I did, there are some similarities within mine and his work. He does more of a typology based portfolio that has a man smoking a cigarette and the different stages of him smoking it. I thought this was quite interesting and decided to expand on my photos that I did of hands by putting in an object as well. I thought that a cigarette was appropriate because it makes the photo a lot more interesting and it fits with the big hands and the dirt under the nails. I think the smoke coming from the cigarette is effective too because it gives that element of fluidity within the photo. I edited the pictures into black and white because it makes them look older and like there's a story behind them. I don't have a particular favourite out of these three photos because I think they all go together really nicely. Overall, I think this was a really good shoot and I got some great photos out of it. The photos tell a story and have a history behind them.
