small

Coming close to the end of my studies I wanted once more return to my favourite photography style – close up as my second theme.  Close-up pictures - that reveal details which can’t be seen with the naked eye.
 

On Level I choose still life, Level II bring me beautiful spring blossom, exploring more this time I went for small objects – models - finding my way to diorama photography.

The word diorama - in modern usage, a three-dimensional full-size or miniature model comes as the current, popular understanding of the term and denotes a partially three-dimensional, full-size replica or scale model of a landscape typically showing historical events, nature scenes or cityscapes, for purposes of education or entertainment.

It usually comes down to depth of field—that’s the term photographers use to describe how much or how little of a photo appears sharp and in focus. When a photo of a large scene is taken from far away—such as one shot from the top of a hill or building—almost the entire photo will naturally be in focus. But with close-up shots of smaller objects, such as scale models, it is very difficult to keep more than a small sliver of the frame in focus. By exploiting this expectation, and selectively blurring the foreground or background, a photographer can trick your eyes and brain into thinking a large scene is really a close-up shot of a scale model or opposite.

I have to admit I`m a bit cheated as I had setting ready, not as I had to build something myself, but exploring more this subject I would like to try something in this field of small world. Make something original - my own story of miniature living life. But as usual time scale wasn’t on my side and in order to complete my ideas and finish my project I went to my good friends fathers loft, where miniature railway and small towns and stations was already build. All dusty and rusty miniature world appeared as perfect subject – like a little ghost town, long time forgotten. 

Spending all day there and taking hundreds of pictures – I save a memory of once loved and living Eavesdrop town.

But before I can show you my work I want you to take a look on this unusual style of photography produced by different artists.
