HAND

Artist Phillip Kaminiak

Berlin, Germany I 2015

Feet and Hands can tell sometimes much more than faces. I am not sure if what I saw here really occurred, but maybe you have another idea for your self.

Phillip Kaminiak’s photograph’s look is a mix of classical flash street photography of the 80ies to 90ies, with a slight sense of fashion or portrait photography. The use of flash, small rangefinder cameras, rather wide lenses, a physical closeness to his subjects and 35mm film gives the pictures something raw and glossy at the same time. This has a significant effect on the question you might have standing in front of many of his pictures: „Is it staged or is it documentary“?
