About Miniature Size Landscape Fotografiserie

Miniature Size Landscape är en fotografiserie som presenterar små naturscener som om de vore vidsträckta världar. Gräs, mossor, blommor och andra växter som växer vid förbipasserandes fötter blir till kulissen. En dvärgfigur på en tum färdas genom varje scen, och varje vy är komponerad som om den vore sedd genom dvärgens ögon. Bilderna skapas med ett vidvinkligt makroobjektiv, fokusstackning för stort skärpedjup samt linjärt, överlappande och atmosfäriskt perspektiv. Syftet är att väcka minnen av barndomens fantasivärldar och att uppmuntra till omsorg om naturen.
