44 MAC

Installation finished, 47 metal prints done, mounted and hung in their final resting place.
And it looks great!!!
It's a portrait project for a redevelopment agency called TNDC
Whose mission it is to provide safe and affordable housing for low income people and families in the tenderloin community.
After several meeting we all agreed on it being a black and white project and we planned to photograph as many tenants, of this newly renovated tenderloin residence, as we could. The shoot day came upon us and while I was worried we wouldn't have enough willing volunteers to photograph on that day, we had plenty, more than enough and almost double that of what we had hoped for.
It was a long non-stop day of photography,stories and my basic attempts at photo styling.(not my strong suit).
We wrapped it all a 5pm and throughout the day had managed to photograph over 50 people. The idea was to make the photo's cohesive in style by shooting against a simple white backdrop and therefore letting the characters of the people be the main focal point of the photographs.
