This image is from my collection "The Infinite Green of Paper Lawns." My images are all created using miniature 1:100 scale diorama models, which I build myself. I became interested in miniature photography because of how it can play with one's sense of reality and scale, and I wanted to try and push the limits of this idea, in the hopes that I might create something truly unique.
