Plastic surfaces across their full range – taut cling film, crumpled polythene, frosted sheeting and rigid moulded forms – each shot with the light behind so the material reads as translucent.

Backlighting is what makes these work. Plastic photographed frontally goes flat and grey; lit from behind it keeps the depth and internal refraction that identifies it.
