Outline of human skeletal hands in a symmetrical arrangement.

No Two, The Same.

Ten Fingers Studio is run by myself Blake, and offers photographic works of raw, lived, nuanced spaces. A study on these spaces, how they are navigated and shaped by people of vastly different backgrounds, experiences and whose way of life is never identical to that of another. With the same ten fingers, we all leave radically different impressions on our world.

Each print is limited to 10 editions, printed on archival fine art paper with archival inks, and available framed or unframed. Printed, framed and shipped from Aotearoa New Zealand.

About
the studio.

Ten Fingers Studio is a photographic practice run by myself Blake, based in New Zealand and rooted in the nuanced nature of human presence on our planet. The work studies how environments are navigated and shaped by people of different backgrounds, experiences, and ways of life - none identical to another. With the same ten fingers, we each leave drastically different marks on the world. These marks and the moments they breathe are documented as they naturally unfold, often in quiet, overlooked, or remote settings.

Each image is captured with intention and printed on archival fine art paper with archival inks. Prints are available unframed, or finished in a handmade New Zealand frame, ready to bring subtle, unsung experiences out of the margins and into everyday spaces.
