Working Hands: Guiding Hands


Industrial sewers or operators, as we call them, are the backbone of the garments business. This picture is dedicated to the many sewers who have worked tirelessly to keep the garments business in the Philippines strong.

Working Hands: Brush Strokes


Creating patterns for dresses can be complex at times. Patterns have to be duplicated for use accross the factory. In my project "Working Hands" I came accross one process where the pattern has to be replicated using the pattern wheel and a brush to mark the paper. Here is a photo of the hand with some Brush Strokes.

Working Hands


My starting photo for the series "Working Hands". These hands belong to our custodian at the garments shop. She was sorting out the different cloths for future use when I asked her to do the pose for a few minutes and this was the result. Enjoy.
