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.
The 2nd day shooting at the Space and Science fest was super awesome because I had the opportunity to meet Pamela Melroy, the first woman to command a space shuttle mission! She was interviewed by journalist Lynn Sherr who was also there promoting her newly released book. Below are a few shots from that day.
