What I Wear To Work

What am I Going to Wear?

A portrait series exploring the clothing people wear to do their jobs.

Each subject is photographed against the same background with standardized lighting. With the environment held constant, personality, posture and uniform become the focus. The details of fabric, tools and fit begin to describe the work itself.

In portraiture, what someone wears is never accidental. It signals role, identity and intention. This series isolates those signals and lets them speak.

The background stays the same. The story changes with each uniform.
