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.
Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend the Jazz Educators Network Conference (JEN). While there I was happy to photograph some amazing musicians! Izzi Guzman is a talented young trombonist I'd heard previously but finally got to meet. We make these photos right in the hotel I was staying at. I love the artwork in the lobby with stacks of records and it seemed like a perfect place to make Izzi's portrait. Check out Izzi's WEBSIT
