‘Masked Britain’ is a collection of images illustrating the environmental impact of the careless discarding of disposable face masks used during the Covid-19 pandemic. Increasingly these single use blue masks have become as endemic in my local environment as the virus they’re meant to protect us from. The masks and the plastics contained in them will live in the environment for years to come, many migrating to our rivers and oceans. Please dispose of your masks thoughtfully.

Each mask was photographed exactly as it was found. During the pandemic it’s estimated more than 50 million masks are thrown out each day in the UK.

Mission launches the first of the new LX range of speakers supported by images from Adrian Lyon Photography

With a launch at the Bristol Sound and Vision HiFi show imminent I was asked to shoot the new LX range of speakers from Mission. The first two models, the LX2 and LX3, made their début at the show supported by a range of photography including a selection of cut-outs and the more creative images you see above. Looking pretty good I think you’ll agree and after a quick listen at the show I can confirm they sound pretty good too, as you would expect from Mission of course! You can see more of my brand photography here. All images ©Adrian Lyon.

Combining stills with video and time-lapse makes a great breadth of material for clients from one shoot.

One of the great things about being a photographer today is the flexibility we have in producing a wide range of material out of one project.  Below is a behind the scenes video from a shoot for a Pharma client we’ve put together from the materials we shot for the ads, videos and time-lapse movies, which is a great example.

As you can see the brief was to shoot a mountain bike broken down into it’s component parts and then arranged into a graphic layout. The agency needed to produce ads in addition to printed support material with a video piece for the product launch. So from the one shoot, using our specialist overhead camera rig, we produced two time-lapse movies of the bike and it’s components building up plus behind the scenes footage with a time-lapse of the shoot progressing, not forgetting, the hi res stills images for the main ad and lots of detail shots of the components for the support material. Phew!

It was a great shoot (ads to follow) and great to be able to produce so much material for the agency and clients in combining the stills and video into one shoot. All images and video ©Adrian Lyon. All rights reserved. Video music courtesy of Bonobo

Studio Photography for Track Audio

These beautiful components from Track Audio were part of a brochure shoot with David Denyer PR which included all their range of audio support equipment. It’s exquisitely made stuff, the attention to detail and the wonderful machining goes right across the range. A joy to photograph! All images ©Adrian Lyon.

Interiors Photography by Adrian Lyon

It’s update time and so along with a few new still life and landscape images I’ve just launched a new section in my portfolio featuring interiors and exteriors. There’s some work from recent shoots for interior designers and developers plus there’s more new shots to come for this section soon. It’s really enjoyable work and although a different discipline to shooting in the studio it’s very complimentary work. For more of my interiors photography please click here to link through to my portfolio. All images ©Adrian Lyon.

Following on from my last post about shooting interiors this is an example on a similar theme from a recent life style interior shoot for Leema Acoustics. These shots were all on location and for them to use for their advertising and HiFi show promotion. There’s more exciting work for Leema to follow soon. All images ©Adrian Lyon.

New in the projects portfolio section is a selection of images from a shoot for Pfizer art directed by Sam Mahon for TBWA Palin Walters. These were shot as a two camera collaboration along with fellow photographer Chris Holland as the client required a huge range of material from each life story scenario with multiple view points from the  actions of the characters in unrepeatable situations. It was a fantastic whirl wind of a shoot, go take a look here!

Update: these projects have now been archived but if you’d like to see any of the images don’t hesitate to get in touch and I’ll be happy to share the shoots.

Here’s our studio mailer as a reminder we have a superbly equipped south London studio base with two shooting areas and drive in access attached to a Victorian house which is often used for additional locations. People photographer Chris Holland and I combine on shoots to work as a two camera unit or run multiple sets ups in the studio to improve productivity, budgets and scheduling.
