Plastic Portraits is a project that seeks to explore our relationship with plastics. People in this world interact with plastics on a daily basis. From single-use, disposable items, to medical and technological equipment that many of us find essential to our lives, plastic is so integrated that we often use and interact with it without being aware of it.
By photographing different people with the plastics they use daily, this project opens the door to thoughtfulness and discussion around the plastics in our lives. It raises awareness of the ubiquitous presence plastic has in our world and hopefully will spark individuals to make more thoughtful, informed decisions regarding their own plastic consumption.
Jazzmyne Mckaye is a music educator and jazz singer based in Seattle, Washington. While I was on the west coast, she and I had a photo session to get some images for her website. She has a beautiful backyard, a photogenic home and friendly cats, so we didn't have to go far for this shoot!
