Guidelines for this assignment were to compose a portrait where the subject's hands play a key role in defining their mood, relationship or character, or help to flatter the subject (such as framing the face, etc.). The assignment description suggested that the composition could be a portrait of just the person's hands, or a portrait that includes more of their body, with their hands being a primary contributor to the success of the image.
