SENIOR PORTRAITS

Senior Portraits, Trenton Central High School, Trenton NJ. The students pictured are leading a campaign with NJ Assemblyman Reed Gusciora to raise awareness about the dilapidated state of Trenton Central High School. I was invited to photograph students in the conditions where they are expected to learn every day and decided to stage Senior Portraits like no other. The place is frightening – condemned rooms, ceilings falling down, and rain water leaking in and collecting into stagnant, ignored puddles. It’s hard to believe this is 2013 in America, and that students, teachers, and administrators work in this toxic environment on a daily basis.
