If you didn’t look close you might not have noticed, and even then you’d be hard pressed to realize that the above photograph was completely man-made using cotton, salt, cooked sugar, tin foil, feathers and canvas; a completely scaled diorama model custom molded for the camera.
New Jersey-based (so automatically he’s a genius) photographer Matthew Albanese uses painstaking preparation and a mixture of photographic techniques such as scale, depth of field, white balance and lighting to create his “Strange World” photo series of man-made mini landscapes. The project took about a month to complete. Head over to the source for much more examples from the project.
