The first pieces I did for this series were part of a family portrait. My sister's cabinet is called Skin Caviar, my parents' is called Big Pain, and mine (and my ex's) is called Sterile. I chose to a shoot a family portrait in this manner because I felt I could capture the unguarded identity of my family. At that time, I was working (and still am) as an architectural photographer for a real-estate company that will remain nameless. Because of the job, and the access to countless medicine cabinets, I could finally do portraits of people without the need for a literal figure.
The strange thing about the cabinets is that after shooting them for a while, I can almost guess what will be in them after meeting the owners. I have never met you or seen you, but if you told me a little about your beliefs, age and politics, I could make a pretty good guess as to what you have in your cabinet.
