About Miniature Size Landscape Series Photographica

"Miniature Size Landscape" est series photographica quae parvas scaenas naturales tamquam mundos vastissimos exhibet. Gramina, musci, flores aliaeque plantae ad pedes praetereuntium crescentes scaenam praebent. Figura nani unius unciae altitudinis per singulas scaenas iter facit, et unusquisque prospectus ita componitur quasi oculis illius nani cernatur. Imagines conficiuntur lente macro amplo, cumulatione foci ad profunditatem aciei augendam, atque perspectiva lineari, occlusiva et aeria. Propositum est mundos imaginarios pueritiae in memoriam revocare atque curam naturae fovere.
