‘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.

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.

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.
