Field Notes For over 10 years Stuck In Plastic has explored toy photography through stories, interviews, essays, challenges, experiments, and long conversations about creativity. Somewhere along the way, we realised something important: the best work rarely comes from rushing toward a finished image. Don’t rush it It comes from paying attention.Field Notes was born from […]
Easter is over.The eggs have been found.The colors are fading.The story, as we know it, has ended. Or has it? Because every story leaves something behind.A trace. Maybe a question. Or a moment that doesn’t quite fit the happy ending. This weekend, we invite you to bring the Easter Bunny back in front of your
This weekend we ran a little experiment. An impromptu workshop with the crew.

The VW Beetle that travelled all the way to Portugal for a sandy beach location shoot. The Caterham Seven with Woody. The Bugatti Chiron reveal in Billund. Each of them became more than just an
