Description The artist. A street artist, actually. Yes. I approached a guy working in the streets and made him hold a mug.

About:
A short series I created based around 'identity'. It was actually a portrait project for an assignment, which I decided to swing away from the 'norm' with.
Rather than involving faces, the hands are the human identifier. You can get a sense for age, gender and perhaps history from them. The surrounding objects add to the identity of the subject.
The mug was the only thing I added to make it 'fit' my assignment brief. 'National Identity'. I really had my own ideas about it.

I wasn't going to share these, but the folder catches my eye each time I pass by it.

I love the focus centred on the hand, it makes the photo curious and definitely different but beautiful and kind of strange at the same time
PD: I have got that mug! XD
