Photography Studio: Michael Mayo Photography | Client: Self-Initiated
It’s every housekeeper’s nightmare. Michael Mayo’s Tupperastrophe visualizes the treaded cabinet and the horrible effects of having too much tupperware. The piece, a self promotion for Michael Mayo Photography, was submitted to the Photography Annual 2016 competition.
The image was photographed on location in Fort Worth Texas. The model was positioned on the kitchen floor and Tupperware was placed around and taped to her body, Mayo wrote on his Graphis Portfolio. Large groups of Tupperware were photographed in studio and later added. “The results were a funny depiction of what can happen when you accumulate too much Tupperware.”
