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.
John Lake is a fabulous trumpet player whom I've known for years. We finally got the opportunity to work together making some portraits. We spent a couple hours at my studio share in midtown manhattan and made some new promo photos for him.
With styling help from John's friend and fellow musician Danny Jonokuchi.
