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.
Earlier this year, musician Brenda Earle Stokes and I did a photo shoot in Breezy point. You can get a sense from the wide variety of images that we spent the day experimenting with various setups. Also we had a lovely hair and makeup stylist, Carina Camacho working with us.
I just did a another shoot with Brenda's family this morning so I wanted to put some from earlier in the year as a prequel!
