Throughout 2018 I have been busy working on a new photographic project in Scotland using my miniature figurines (the 'Little People').

My main hope is that this new series of photographs will help highlight the plastic/litter epidemic our country (and the planet) is suffering from. Littering, in general, has always sickened me, and the 'Blue Planet II effect' really made me feel like I too could help highlight the issue using my own unique approach.

Earlier this year, I spent several days collecting bags full of plastic and rubbish that had been discarded (or washed up) next to beaches and lochs on the west coast of Scotland, mostly 'beauty' spots. I kept some of this plastic to make my work (recycling the rest) and returned to the banks of Loch Lomond a couple of months ago to photograph my latest series - Life in Plastic.
