‘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.

I’m very pleased to have received a commendation in the Take a View Landscape Photographer of the Year competition for my image of the Lake District. It will appear in the exhibition at Waterloo Station on the new mezzanine level from the 1st of December through until the end of January as well as being displayed on the 40m wide motion@waterloo display! There’s some great images along with mine so I recommend taking a look if you’re in the London/Waterloo area. And if you’re not there’s always the book where my shot is printed over a double page spread. You can see more of my landscapes here. All images ©Adrian Lyon

A new portfolio project called ‘Bush Fires’ is now uploaded with a selection of images from a few hours spent in the area around Melbourne Australia devastated by bush fires one year ago. You can view them in the ‘portfolio’ section under projects. Please click here to link through to the portfolios.

Update: this project has now been archived but if you’d like to see any of the images don’t hesitate to get in touch and I’ll be happy to share them.

While travelling in Australia over the Christmas period one of the things high on my list was to visit and photograph the area north of Melbourne ravaged by bush fires almost a year ago. With only a few hours to spare before jumping on the plane home we didn’t get to spend the time I would have liked but for sure there’s some very poignant scenes and it’s also amazing how nature and life is already rebuilding. More to follow as a portfolio project… All images © Adrian Lyon.
