This colorful recycled bottle turned circus train car is photographed near a big top tent.
 

Martine Camillieri’s recycled bottle automobiles are truly an example of playful upcycling at its best. Before taking pictures of each clever vehicle, he stages it so it can be photographed in it’s “natural” environment. Next up, the designer plans to release an upcoming book showcasing the collection.
