Underpaid and exploited, food industry workers serve our food, day-in and day-out. It's no accident that employers require conspicuous corporate uniforms, with all the conformity and anonymity associated with low-status "McJobs." Unattractive and ill fitting, these clothes serve their purpose: to make these workers look low-key and "uniform." I'm purposefully creating an ironic yet historical dialogue between my subjects and Renaissance portraiture. Transplanted from their work environment, they look vulnerable yet dignified peering from behind their visors and into my camera. Although they are dressed like thousands of other workers, if you look closer, you can see their nobility.
