About Miniature Size Landscape Fotografická séria

Miniature Size Landscape je fotografická séria, ktorá predstavuje malé prírodné scenérie tak, akoby to boli rozľahlé svety. Trávy, machy, kvety a ďalšie rastliny rastúce pri nohách okoloidúcich sa stávajú kulisou. Každou scénou putuje trpaslícia figúrka vysoká jeden palec a každý záber je komponovaný tak, akoby bol videný očami tohto trpaslíka. Snímky sú vytvorené širokouhlým makroobjektívom, s využitím skladania zaostrenia (focus stacking) pre veľkú hĺbku ostrosti a lineárnej, okluzívnej a vzdušnej perspektívy. Cieľom je pripomenúť vymyslené svety detstva a podnietiť starostlivosť o prírodu.
