About Miniature Size Landscape Seri Fotografi

Miniature Size Landscape adalah seri fotografi yang menghadirkan pemandangan alam berskala kecil seolah-olah merupakan dunia yang luas. Rerumputan, lumut, bunga, dan tanaman lain yang tumbuh di bawah kaki para pejalan menjadi latar panggungnya. Sebuah figur kurcaci setinggi satu inci menjelajahi setiap adegan, dan setiap pemandangan dikomposisikan seolah dilihat melalui mata kurcaci tersebut. Gambar-gambar ini dibuat dengan lensa makro sudut lebar, teknik focus stacking untuk memperoleh ketajaman menyeluruh, serta penerapan perspektif linear, oklusif, dan aerial. Tujuannya adalah membangkitkan kembali dunia khayalan masa kanak-kanak dan mendorong kepedulian terhadap alam.
