  • The England footballer Wayne Rooney's faces are seen wrapped up in polythene, sold outside a shop near St. Paul's Cathedral where merchandise accessories are being sold off cheap outside sports shop in City of London. It is a few days after the England team's defeat by Germany in the quarter-finals of the South African World Cup and while English flags are stored away in time for the next St. George's Day when nationalism and patriotic emotions are showed on homes, in streets and on working mans’ vans, these Rooney face masks are now seen as passé, unsellable at current prices so their value has been reduced from just 10 pence. Golden boy Rooney is still a commodity that Manchester United earn millions from – their merchandising opportunities reach a fever levels at times of premiership and international matches.

  • From high above the stacked crates and pallets of duty free merchandise at the British Airports Authority (BAA) secure facility near London Heathrow airport, a blurred forklift truck drives down a corridor moving fast away from two people in the background. In the foreground yellow boxes contain Gordon's Gin and Benson & Hedges cigarettes destined for the airports and aircraft leaving BAA terminals. We see the diagonal lane in this warehouse the size of a hangar, so vast is its scale. The workers in the distance appear dwarfed against the tall shelves of merchandise that they need to organise and keep a tally of. It is a picture of ultimate organisation and the efficient transporting of goods in and out of this logistics hub.

The US tobacco company Philip Morris manufactures this brand and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, those living in former eastern-bloc nations created a vast new market that opened up potential income for the ambitious cigarette industry - just as it has in China and African countries. In this town square, people pass-by and sit in cafes before the three women take their product to the masses, handing out free cigarettes to tempt smokers and perhaps future smokers.

  • On a bright summer afternoon, a young spoiled girl shows-off by riding her favourite motorized Barbie trike along The Parade, the main promenade in the north Welsh seaside town of Llandudno, Wales. Wearing a bright pink helmet and travelling on the matching pink toy bike, she trundles along with the low-tide coast over her left shoulder. Barbie is a best-selling fashion doll launched in 1959 and produced by Mattel, Inc. The brand's merchandising reaches far and wide to countries and cultures around the world and this little girl seems to be the happiest on the beach, enjoying a generous present perhaps from a parent. She is the exact age that Mattel are targeting when they market these toys to accompany their dolls and accessories though the industry has come under fire for its controversial stereotyping of gender and subtle sexuality.

  • Sheriff Woody Pride, aka Woody, the cowboy character from the Pixar/Disney CGI fantasy film Toy Story, lies forgotten outside a south London charity shop. Facing the viewer, we see the happy features of this famous movie character - whose on-screen narrative is that of a forgotten toy, now unwanted by his growing-up boy owner. As art becomes reality, Woody has been left on the pavement after being dumped by his previous family.  A common problem is that charity donors leave unwanted things outside in the street, for others to come and rifle through, leaving a mess that's difficult for volunteers to clean up.

They head out towards open sea, navigating through deeper water channels that naturally get shallower as silt chokes the waterways. Historically, the Thames has long been a route for shipping that kept the capital supplied and although the docks have seen huge decreases in traffic and volume since the second world war, Tilbury remains a busy hub for containerized vessels arrivng from all over the world.

  • As stormy waves crash over its super-structure and funnel, the Liberian-registered MV Braer oil tanker spills 84,700 tonnes of crude oil into the North Sea. It sits below its water-line with crude oil leaking from its ruptured tanks after running ground in hurricane force winds, beeching itself on these rocks in Quendale Bay, west of Sunburgh Head, the Shetland Islands, Scotland.

  • Football supporter mates mess around in a London street before going on to watch their team's match elsewhere in the capital.
