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.
When I heard the love story of Christopher and Desmond, I was excited to photograph their wedding even in the cold 2020 winter: Their ceremony took place on the 25th anniversary of their first date! They've been together for a long time and it was a small and joyous ceremony in a lovely east village garden.
