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.
Yoon Sun Choi is a fabulous musician and photographer so I was thrilled to play with these color gel portraits with her. She brought an amazing selection of dresses and jewelry and did her own makeup. We experimented with several different looks and moods.
It was a super fun collaboration and I hope to work together with Yoon again!
