“Blueprints†gravitates toward the notion that our home is the reflection of ourselves. Instead of conventional photographic portraiture, in this body of work I reveal the personalities of my subjects by depicting the contents of their homes. “Blueprints†do resemble architectural floor plans; however, they are in fact an unusual form of portrait.
