If The Bag Fits

Downtown
Los Angeles, CA

February 14th, 2010

Creating an anonymous environment helps free models from any self-consciousness that may restrict them from adequately expressing themselves. Stripping them of all anxiety and anxiousness, photographer Mark J. Sebastian uses bags to help put the models at ease during this Valentine’s Day shoot in Los Angeles, CA.

Wandering around the streets of downtown, paper-bagged models, Michael Nguyen and Victoria Vu, tell a story through the use of actions and body language. Part of the experiment is to effectively articulate a story without all the technicalities of a photo shoot to distract from the storytelling.
