The City Shrinker

These photos sure look like little model train set dioramas. They're not. Australian photographer Ben Thomas does his thing by "shrinking" real life scenes so they look like a little toy world. Wow.

What an interesting find! It’s indeed really amazing to see the depth of field, which we usually associate with macro photography. Really nice job! Keep up the good work, with finding these little gems! — Take care, Marc

It's so wild when people actually manage to make a physical image that's just like what your imagination can do.

Finninsh photographer Miklos Gaal does the same. He is amazing too. I love he's works

I will have to check out Miklos Gaal. Thank you for the tip, bjarke.

This is just total craziness. I want to know HOW he does this. Is it just practical tricks with photography (long lenses, deep focus, diddled whimdigglers, I have no idea what I'm talking about) or does he Photoshop it somehow? Infuriatingly, the website doesn't say.
