  • With suitcases and a dinosaur toy box in the foreground, two baggage-handlers manhandle bags onto a Saudi Airlines McDonnell-Douglas MD90-30 (registered as HZ-APP) on the apron at Bahrain airport. In the foreground is a box containing a toy dinosaur called The Monster which is too large to be cabin baggage, instead having to travel in the hold along with cargo and the luggage of other passengers on this flight operated by Saudi and departing from this Gulf state seen here 12 months before the terrorist attacks on America that changed the public's attitude to flying on commercial airliners.

  • Shipbuilders manhandle heavy piping up a ramp of stairs as another worker's sparks from welding falls below on the hull of a large German ferry at the Polish Gdansk shipyard - once known as the Lenin Shipyard but still the largest of its kind in modern Poland. The grimy and hazardous working conditions make for a dangerous environment in which to work. Here in 1980 the union Solidarity (Solidarnosc) was conceived and was partly responsible for a growing dissent against Communist rule, ultimately contributing towards the fall of the Berlin Wall. Lech Walesa started his political career as an electrical technician here, going on to lead Solidarity and then to become President of a democratic Poland. Today Gdansk is a major industrial city and shipping port.

  • A young woman carries a cardboard box, balanced on her head as she walks along a central London street. Wearing bright red trousers, the woman manages to carry the box expertly as she walks down Piccadilly, a main street in central London. With handbags perched on both shoulders and making her way towards more pedestrians, the lady continues her way to her destination. It is too large to carry in front of her and has decided to manhandle it as she may have seen in developing countries, such as Africa.

The Alpe di Siusi is the biggest high-alpine pasture in Europe with a surface of 57 km² and its altitude range from 1680 to 2350 m above sea level. This high-alpine pasture is located in the heart of the Dolomites. A mostly older generation of farmers work the land in this high area, known for its summer hiking trails and skiing pistes.

  • Herdsman manhandles sheep up for auction at the ancient annual Priddy Sheep Fair in Somerset, England. Surrounded by animals, a herdsman pulls sheep apart before the auctioneer arrives in this pen to start bidding in this picturesque village in the Mendip Hills. Unauthorised visitors are forbidden to enter the catle pens, avoiding the spread of epidemics like Foot and Mouth. According to tradition, Priddy Sheep Fair moved from Wells in 1348 because of the Black Death, although evidence has been found of a Fair being held at Priddy before that. There is a local legend, which says that as long as the hurdle stack shelter remains in the village, so will the Fair.

  • Destined for nearby offices, two workmen deliver a heavy piece of corporate art taped up and covered in a narrow side street in the City of London, the capital's financial district. Each manhandling a corner and sharing the weight of this awkward company asset.

  • Below the flooring of economy class, a cargo handler manhandles a container of air freight into position in the hold of a Sri Lankan Airlines Airbus A340 that is about to depart from Male, the capital of the Republic of the Maldives  to Colombo. Inside the aluminium box is fresh tuna fish, freshly caught in the Indian Ocean and bound for the supermarkets of the EU and in particular, the UK whose insatiable appetite for fresh, perishable and sustainable foodstuffs make this fast and efficient form of transport important to speedy delivery. Every square inch is accounted for but as well as passengers' baggage, the cramped spaces beneath this modern airliner store loaded revenue-rich cargo though specially-pressurised and heated compartments accommodate live animals.

The light is soft and the air cool on this midsummer morning during a heatwave - the best time to be here.

  • Awkwardly, carrying their giant rubber rings by wrapping their left hands over the top curves, three kids make their way tentatively down a ramp of concrete to a poolside ride called River Run. There are two yellow rings and one red, alternatively manhandled along the path which is already wet from other holidaymakers in this northern seaside resort of Scarborough, North Yorkshire. We do not see the childrens' faces or upper-bodies and are therefore anonymous. A sign for the ride lists a series of rules for safe enjoyment of this leisure pursuit which they are urged to obey.

  • We are looking from behind a group of red uniformed meat market traders who are manhandling joints of pork from the back of a meat wagon at Macau's main meat market, on the Rua Sul do Mercado de Sao Domingos, just off the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, in Central Macau. The men have on hooded red tunics that hide the bloodstains of dead animal carcasses, a very practical choice of colour (color). One man has half a pig on his shoulders while another holds a leg in his left hand. The animal carcasses look heavy and they are both struggling under their weight. There is much more meat to be offloaded from the truck and the men queue up to take their turn and remove them for sale inside the market building. Besides historical Chinese and Portuguese world-heritage relics, Macau's biggest attraction is its gaming business. Its gambling revenue in 2006 weighed in at a massive £3.6bn - about £100m more than Las Vegas.  Administered by Portugal until 1999, it was the oldest European colony in China, dating back to the 16th century. The administrative power over Macau was transferred to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1999, 2 years after Hong Kong's own handover. Macau's name is derived from A-Ma-Gau or Place of A-Ma and this temple dedicated to the seafarers' goddess dates from the early 16th century.

  • A man carries an awkward square box past a large yellow sign with spelling the word Mile. Confusingly, it appears that the person's body is in fact inside the box. Blue sky forms one half of the picture with a background also of a large office block development. It is late afternoon and pockets of spring sunshine are shining on this street in the capital's financial heart - the City of London, known as the Square Mile, founded by the Romans in AD43.

  • A Bahraini  baggage-handler employed by SABTCO pauses during his shift at Bahrain International airport. Having loaded luggage he is also about to put a cargo of fresh fruits on the conveyor belt and into the hold of an Egyptair Airbus. A colleague walks up the ramp towards the fuselage before the freight goes in before its imminent departure for Cairo, across the Mediterranean. It is another hot day in this Gulf State, a key hub airport in the region, providing a gateway to the Northern Gulf. The airport is the home for Gulf Air which provides 52% of overall movements and is also the half-way point between Western Europe and Asian destinations such as Hong Kong and Beijing. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first powered flight, 1903.

  • Two Chinese workmen work as a team attaching paper lanterns to an Oriental shop during preparations in London's Chinatown for the mid-Autumn (also Lantern or Moon) Festival where paper lanterns are to hang. The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Zhongqiu Festival is a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese people, dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty. In Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, it is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or Mooncake Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is in September or early October in the Gregorian calendar. It is a date that parallels the autumnal equinox of the solar calendar, when the moon is at its fullest and roundest.

  • Workman carry a construction fence past a forthcoming The Toy Store shop in Oxford Street, central London. Walking along the side street the men manhandle the fence as safely as possible, given that the general public are everywhere so the chances of injury are high. They wear the correct industrial clothing to make them visible to all. Alongside, we see a regular kiosk selling ice cream cones and drinks and crepes. In the background are the bright colours of a construction hoarding for a new Toy Store on this busy street in Westminster, central London. There is a theme of striped poles and twisting design that helps lure the young and seduce their business when open soon.
