27 atmospheric pictures from Instagram dedicated to the hands of New York subway passengers

The profile of American Hannah La Follette Ryan called "Subwayhands" is rapidly gaining popularity on the web, which literally means "Hands in the subway" in English. On this page you will find nothing but the hands of different passengers. But this does not mean that it is ugly and uninteresting here!

On the contrary, the profile of "Subwayhands" will be appreciated even by the most convinced aesthetes! We want to show you 27 photos from this unusual account below.

The project of Hannah La Follette Ryan is primarily interesting because the girl takes all the photos "surreptitiously". The characters depicted in the pictures (or rather, their hands) do not even realize that someone is filming them.

Hannah has been interested in such an unusual photo for several years.

The hands of people she meets on the New York subway on the way from Brooklyn to Manhattan fall into her lens.

Some photos do not carry any semantic load ...

But others can tell a whole story!

Hint at who a person works for or what he is interested in…

What he dreams about…

And what problems he cares about.

Despite the simplicity and lack of ideas in the photos, they all look very aesthetically pleasing, which is confirmed by thousands of likes from subscribers of the profile.

Now 220 thousand people have subscribed to the "Subwayhands" page!

And over the past month, the content on the page has been replenished with photos related to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

In the photo, you can see how people are trying to protect themselves from the disease: they wear gloves, use antiseptic, try not to touch the handrails…

The "Subwayhands" page was not ignored even by the New Yorker, and we also believe that it is worthy of your attention!
