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.
Back in May I had the opportunity to be a fly on the wall photographing the making of a record by bandleader and saxophonist Lisa Parrott. It was pretty amazing to hear these musicians work together at the beautiful (looking and sounding) Systems Two recording studio. Here are a few of the images from that special day. I've been told that those microphones were used my John Coltrane himself!
