Leg OGrapher, a Lego man, has been pictured travelling around Britain taking pictures with his Lego camera

A creative photographer has taken 365 pictures charting the adventures of a Legographer- a Lego character who likes to 'take' pictures.



The quirky series of shots follows the fantasy life of Leg O'Grapher, a Lego character who has travelled across the UK taking pictures, ahead of the release of the Lego movie.



Andrew Whyte, 39, from Southsea, Portsmouth carries the Lego man in his pocket where ever he goes, just in case the perfect picture opportunity arises.



He said: 'I started the project because I am a really compulsive photographer and I feel like I have to take pictures at the time.



'I am used to taking pictures but not showing them to people so by introducing the Lego character into a scene it takes a on a whole new meaning as I am telling the story of the character.'

The Legographer was photographed on his travels by Mr Whyte. Here he stops to capture a snap of an old routemaster bus in London

Tourist: The Lego man joins thousands of visitors to London by snapping a quick picture of one of the capital's famous red phone boxes Going underground: Leg will have to be careful to avoid getting caught underfoot while he takes some shots of one of the world's busiest train networks On the river: Leg goes for a stroll down the Thames in London, before stopping to take a picture of the Millennium Eye Home sweet home: Here the Lego man, nicknamed Leg OGrapher, takes a picture of Portsmouth harbor, where Mr Whyte lives

Braving the weather: Never one to miss out on an opportunity, Mr Whyte even braved the recent bad weather to take the Lego man out and caputre some shots

Happy couple: With a quick change of shirt, the Lego man is off to ply his trade at a wedding by snapping a quick shot of the bride and groom

This is how we do it: Behind the scenes Mr Whyte sets up the wedding shot with help from the couple's son By the seaside: Leg takes a moment to line up a shot of Brighton's famous pier set against a stunning sunset

Life's a beach: Perhaps it's the fact that he's from Portsmouth, but Leg seems to have a preference for the sea. Here he captures the fun at Southsea Man of action: Of course working so close to nature has its unintended consequences, including the occasional crab-attack
