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.
I photographed Dr Laura Deitsch when I was in Los Angeles for a conference at the Westin near LAX. We made all these photos on the grounds outside the hotel in the middle of the day. It was a bit of challenge in the LA sun and hotel landscape, but Dr Laura was a super fun subject and I'm very happy with what we created!
