Sue Stitches a Section

This was something different for me -- a friend of Junko's is re-doing her website and asked if I would photograph her work and her at work (Junko is out of town). We had a fun afternoon and I loved all the colors and photo ops. Her work is beautiful, so it felt like a privilege to be able to see her studio space and photograph her as she moved about, as well as capture all the stacks of fabrics and other tools.
Inspired by Richard Sayer's b&w portrait of Mrs. S's hands at work.
Extras is a collage to try to convey her space:

@angiedanielle24 Thanks Angie...it took a bit of figuring to til I could come up with Section for a way to end the title! I'm glad you noticed it.

[Marnie]

Great use of crop and dof to draw the eye right to the sewer's hands and machine. Love the alliteration. Alternative for the last word could be 'seam'.

[John Falconer]

Nice shot in black & white.

[Helen Jane]

That beaming smile shining out from behind the sewing machine - classic!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot- love the smile and the pov.

Great angle and take. I like the use of b&w. Fab story-telling image. Fav.

I love the focus on the hands that do the work - as you say, paying homage to Richard Sayer. Lovely portraiture, Taffy.
