I like when hands get in the way of food photos. There’s something about the presence of hands that makes the photo feel more human. I can’t explain it. It’s something like… the implication of movement. Dynamicism. The reminder that meals are more than just food (a shared occasion!). When I see hands in my food photos I am reminded of warmth. That food is to be shared! Sometimes when I move to take photos of food my friends will hurriedly pull their hands away & I always say no no… Please go ahead. It’s not the same without your hands. But perhaps I am just sentimental…
