Life is good here in sunny Manchester and my 366 project is still going strong. Less than 65 days left to go in the year and from past experiences it will be over before we know it.
Hands always feature heavily in my work as you may have noticed. I just find images with them in more powerful and emotive than those without. I think they also add scale or context and a means of adding some kind of a story for the viewer to fill in the blanks.

Vape, 4 x lp brushes universal connectors stacked on my Ryus lightworks torch, arm with hand attachment and some fetling in Lightroom.
I wanted some dirty noise to add to the atmosphere so shortened the shutter speed and cranked the iso.
66 to go.

Is what I plan on being once all this is over...
Headshot illuminated using 1 x Yongnuo 560iv through my DIY beauty dish, tripod and lens swap to macro for the phone screen creation.
Single long exposure with a few tweaks in LR and a mono conversion.
I hope you enjoyed having a look and following along with the project.
As always and questions or comments you may have about my work please fire them my way.
Happy days
