Extreme close-up photograph of the tendon of a man's wrist, shot from above at a raking angle in near-darkness. Real skin at high magnification: visible pores, fine hair, a faint scar, the texture of a man in his late thirties who has lived outdoors. The hand is relaxed and unposed, caught mid-gesture rather than presented. A single hard light grazes across the skin from the left, leaving the rest of the arm falling into complete black. No face, no clothing branding, no background, no room, no jewellery yet. Warm skin tone is the only colour in an otherwise monochrome frame. Observed, not performed — the quality of documentary photography, not a beauty shot.
