The photo series titled Refuse by Eduardo Hernandez, a photographer based in Monterrey, Mexico, embraces the recent phenomenon of itemizing one's belongings in order to document them in a tediously tidy way. Although very much about a consumer lifestyle, these images shakes things up a bit by adding the person (or people, in one case) who owns the items into the mix.
Shot for Cadena+Asoc. Branding, Refuse by Eduardo Hernandez focuses on a fun beach theme, which is perfect for those who are looking to escape the winter blues in the Northern Hemisphere. Created in collaboration with Lucas Lucas & Screw., showcase everything from scuba diving gear to fresh fruits and even the odd cleaning product. The images are eye-catching.
