Photo Adventures in a Miniature world - Kurt Moses

[Hamish Gill]

Bit of fun for monday morning... Photographer Kurt Moses has created a nice collection of amusing but also very creative shots of miniature people in all sorts of weird wonderful and day to day situations
This one seems most appropriate for posting here

I found them here Photo Adventures in a Miniature World - My Modern Metropolis
But there are more on his site here Kurt Moses Photography | Un Petit Monde (A Small World)

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Very clever! I like those a lot

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Hamish. I like this sort of thing. There are few people doing this although I think Slinkachu might have been the first (eg Little People - a tiny street art project and Slinkachu.com - Home). I have book by him and some of the setups are just wonderful. He does the installation, photographs it and then leaves the figures in place for people to find.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I'm quite tempted to have a go, the mind boggles with all the possibilities!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Very clever.

I like the images that people do of the little Amazon (Danbo) box robot characters as well

 

[Pete Askew]

Hadn't seen these before Chris. And there's quite a bit out there too isn't there. Where did 'he' originate, any idea?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Pete, ‘Danbo’ or ‘Danboard’ if we give him his full name, is from the Japanese word ‘danboru’ which means corrugated cardboard.

Danbo was commissioned by Amazon Japan and was made by Revoltech - Revoltech Collectors Nation :: RCN

I first came across him in 2008 on Flickr - Flickr: The Danbo

I think the narrow DOF photography originally caught my eye - then I realized just how clever many of the image comps were

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Chris. I agree, the shots are very well set up aren't they. I wondered if 'he'd' originated in the Far East as many of the images appeared to be coming from there and 'he' has that look.

Joe has been making box characters out of our little avatar people ... Quite clever really!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Must admit to having wanted to do this myself, it certainly adds some interest and narrative to a body of work. There is someone in the UK who does it and leaves the characters in situ after he has photog'd them...not sure if this is the guy but more good shots here..

Little People - a tiny street art project

Appeals to me as would tie in well with my model building...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I love all these shots - great fun.
