Over the course of two weeks me and my family produced 6 bin bags of plastic. On average we throw away 5 full bin bags a week of general waste. Over the two weeks 6 out of 10 bin bags were full of plastic. 

My focus during the photo shoot was to capture a clear picture of the plastic pile and making use of the coloured lighting to illuminate one side of the pile. This means when I edit the photos later I can easily cut up and compose an image. 

I experimented with different lighting states, from darker to lighter states with only hints of colour, giving the frame a deeper depth of field. The coloured lighting is very bright and sickly. I would like to reflect some of the colours in my edits.
