About Miniature Size Landscape 写真シリーズ
『Miniature Size Landscape（ミニチュアサイズ・ランドスケープ）』は、ごく小さな自然の情景を、あたかも広大な世界であるかのように描き出す写真シリーズです。通りすがりの人々の足元に生える草、苔、花などの植物が舞台となります。身長1インチの小人が各シーンを旅し、すべての眺めはその小人の目を通して見たかのように構成されています。作品は広角マクロレンズを用い、深い被写界深度を得るためのフォーカススタッキング、さらに線遠近法・重畳遠近法・空気遠近法を駆使して制作されています。幼い頃に思い描いた空想の世界を呼び覚まし、自然を大切にする心を育むことを目指しています。
