Plastic Passion ThreeA Special 2018 - Photography Book

SPECIAL

MY OBSESSION WITH TOYS MADE MANIFEST AS A SERIES OF PORTRAITS.

SPECIAL

Plastic | adjective plas·tic \’plas-tik\ 1. made or consisting of plastic 2. not real or sincere 3. capable of being made into different shapes Passion | noun pas·sion \’pa-shən\ 4. a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement for ... or about doing ...

5. a strong feeling that causes you to act in a spontaneous way 6. a strong sexual or romantic feeling for someone (or something?)

Plastic Passion 3A Special is my love letter to ThreeA Toys and the worlds created by Ashley Wood. It showcases photographic & digital techniques used to capture objects in space, designer toys as still life, (im)perfect details, models in macro and faces in close-up - all intended as art, as portraiture, for fun and as something more profound than their synthetic-plasticrealism.

Make of it what you will but remember it is always about the art of play!
