San Francisco, California based Patrick Rafanan, a.k.a. SOYBABY, has been photographing fashion and making portraits since the turn of the millennium. He lives in dripping color, collecting old plastic toys while rescuing porcelain dolls from unworthy thrift store shelves. His images are an exercise in prolonging nostalgia and innocence hinted through calamity with sparks of lonesomeness–forced into the mouth as cookies of cheeky, indelible mystery. Patrick Rafanan is allergic to peanuts, indulges in real maple and has made it a personal crusade to raise awareness about the perils of corn syrup in any form. More of his work can be found online at www.soybaby.com.
