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.
I recently had the opportunity to photograph Zoe and Jimanekia for some work I've been wanting to create combining bodies together in different abstract visual ways. Many thanks to them for allowing me to pose them in these different ways. I love that they both brought such bright pink clothing and we could play with the colors and tones they brought to the images. Gorgeous humans in a gorgeous setting!
