Vegar Abelsnes, Photographer, New York

Description

Captured from a dramatic low angle, a person holds up a long, deeply ruffled strand of vibrant yellow seaweed that snakes down through the frame. The subject wears green overalls over a textured knit sweater and a dark beanie, smiling slightly toward the camera. The background consists entirely of a bright, overcast sky that provides high contrast against the organic textures in the foreground. Natural lighting highlights the translucent quality of the amber-colored seaweed and the coarse weave of the apparel. Photographer Vegar Abelsnes frames the scene to emphasize the tactile qualities of the marine harvest against the pale sky.
