The Inside Out Project: St. Pete

I was asked to be a participating photographer in the St. Petersburg version of the Inside Out Project. The video above shows the installation of 300 portraits of people in our community. I photographed 140 of them, over the course of two days. It was such a thrill seeing these faces blown up and wheat-pasted over this building on the future site of The Factory.

More about the Inside Out Project (from their website):

“Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as a group with 5 or more portraits; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.”
