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.
Early December I had a super fun shoot by Central Park's Bethesda Fountain. I'm very pleased that it didn't get cold until later in the month, because they had the brilliant idea of each wearing a different color of the pride rainbow to create some really fun images.
Also, they have an amazing business called Polycute, making greeting cards for the LGBTQ and polyamorous community!
