Finger Photography: Capturing the Story of Miniature Worlds
Today we are going to celebrate the unsung heroes that are… our fingers. I think it’s pretty safe to say that all articles of Hongkiat are written by using fingers. From clicks to swipes, from tapping to typing, we cannot really do without fingers in this digital age. Our daily tasks will be extremely hard to execute and complete without them, and it’s only fair to celebrate fingers in at least one post, like the one we have today!
With the help of creative re-imaginings and clever tricks of ‘finger artists’, we now can get a look into the lives of the finger people. Check out these 30 impressive photos of fingers depicting very human lives. Full list after the jump.
Abrigos
Note that your fingers are parts of your body too, and they could feel cold too! So get them some nice coats to keep them warm.

Bad Boys
Instead of painting directly on fingers, Komusō drew the faces using a software, creating this unique and amusing piece! Check out the moustache on that one!

Well, they seem to be having a pretty fun conversation. Also the cool thing about this artwork is that the expressions look so natural!

Earth Day
Even fingers are celebrating Earth day! And it’s so true, we’re all stuck together on the same Earth, like these finger people are stuck together in the same palm. Better make the best of it.

Relaxing In A Tub
Nothing like a bubble bath to help a busy finger relax. No more facepalming on the keyboard for today.

Share the Cake
To listen or not to listen? That’s the question for this finger. But first of all, how will it eat the cake?

Reflection
Do not underestimate the efforts put into these finger! Though most of them look really simple, it actually takes lots of brain juice to make those boring fingers look really interesting and as lively as possible.
Therefore, a heartfelt thanks to artists and photographers who went so far just to take an awesome photo that cheers up our routine-filled life! Be sure to share with us more touching or amusing finger people stories!
