Plastic Bags Landscape:

Vilde Rolfsen is a photographer from Norway, Oslo who studied in Kensington University. While living in London she realised the impact we were having on the environment especially the use of plastic bags. In her project ‘Plastic Bags Landscape’ she addresses the detrimental effects of using plastic bags as they pollute our land and oceans. Rolfsen didn’t want her project to be too in-your-face so, she decided by doing a more abstract project as it will have a more aesthetically pleasing feel and look and won’t scare the audience away. Vilde Rolfsen took inspiration from where she grew up, in Oslo, as she wanted the bags too give a look of the mountains and glaciers from back home.

Analysis:

This is a digital image of a plastic bag, the mis-en-scene presents a clear plastic bag that has lights around it to create the different colours seen in the image. There are different tones within the image with the darker tones being around the centre of the image, being the focal point, with the lighter tones on the outskirts of the image. The use of light is artificial to create the different colours, most of the image is in focus suggesting the image was taken with a f/8. Rolfsen has clearly used the rule of thirds, with each third having a different colour wave/tone.
