‘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.

It’s amazing to think how many short lived displays of nature like this must have come and gone over time, so here’s three immortalised for ever.

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
