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.
Back in November, musician Aaron Shragge and I had a fantastic session in Prospect Park. Aaron is getting ready to release his album of music by Tom Waits and this afternoon we captured a variety of images for him to utilize in his album cover design. Here are some of our favorites from the session.
