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.
Sebastien Ammann and I have worked together before on his solo portraits so I was very happy when he asked me to photograph his band, Color Wheel in preparation for their upcoming album release. The timing of the leaves in Prospect Park was just perfect for the colors in these Autumn photos.
