Photographing hands is an art in itself. In this article, we share our top tips for taking the perfect shot when hands are the stars of the frame.
1. Find the Right Angle
Hands can look beautiful and elegant on camera—but they can also appear awkward or claw-like. This depends partly on the model’s posture but also heavily on the photographer’s angle. Capturing hands in a flattering way requires carefully experimenting with different perspectives to find what works best.
2. Use Good Lighting
Lighting is crucial in all photography, and hand photography is no exception. Since hands often hold a product during commercial shoots, harsh lighting can create unwanted shadows over the product. That’s why proper lighting settings and placement are especially important.
3. Hire a Professional Hand Model
Professional hand models not only have beautiful hands but also know exactly how to use them on set. The correct hand and finger positioning relative to the product and camera is vital. Their expertise leads to smooth collaboration, efficient shooting, and stunning final results.
