Hands

"The Asia Unique" series of books highlights the extraordinary diversity of Asia by focusing on one specific topic, photographed in its amazing variety by some of the finest travel photographers currently covering Asia. Throughout the books, inspirational quotes and proverbs from Asia, related to the specific book topic, compliment the stunning images. "HANDS" documents the unique character of people across the continent by focusing on their hands engaged in typical daily activities. 'A helping hand makes a happy heart', goes the Chinese proverb. Hands are expressions of ourselves: measures by which we may be understood. Stretched out in acceptance or clenched in defiance hands communicate our emotions; weathered in the fields or immaculately manicured in the salon they reflect our lifestyle. Hands caress, pray, fight, dance, labour, greet, hug, hold, gesture and help. Looking at hands across Asia is a journey of discovery, of stories untold. "Asia Unique" takes you by the hand to bring you the richness of this fascinating continent, and "HANDS" highlights the extraordinary diversity and character of hands across Asia, captured in 135 stunning colour photographs and enriched by inspirational Asian quotes and proverbs related to the subject. It features 135 stunning & unique colour photographs by the finest photographers currently working in Asia, including Hans Kemp, Subhash Sharma, Nana Chen, Mirjam Letsch, John Brown and many others. It contains the highest quality repro on art paper; handsomely bound; and includes caption listing. "The Asia Unique" photography series is published by Hans Kemp under the Red Banana Books imprint.
