I Turn Everyday Objects Into Surreal Miniature Worlds (34 New Pics)

My journey as a creator of miniature worlds started in the English Channel, on an island called Herm. I was a chef for 10 years at that time, and I really wanted to be a food photographer. That was my dream. I was traveling a lot because I also worked on a cruise ship that sailed across the world.

When I finally bought my own professional camera with a macro lens (those are perfect for food photos), I started to shoot close-ups, but I wasn't really up for bugs and flowers. 

One day in Guernsey, I found a train model shop and bought some miniature worker figures. I put them on a piece of moss behind a small rock, and I realized that I had created a tiny world. I found myself at that moment that was my very own world. 80% of my pictures are still food-related because I still love food like crazy.

To make dioramas, I had to learn to build and paint, so I got 2 more skills during this time.

Besides food photography and miniature world-making, I also love concert photography. It used to be my first moneymaker photographer job, but now it is just a hobby. I love to be on stage at a huge festival in front of ten thousand people, but only if I have a camera in my hand, which covers my face.

At the beginning of my creative process, I was ordering the mini-figures from the internet, but a year ago, I realized there is a limit to those figures in the world. Last January, I bought a 3D printer and started making my own figures. The buildings are Faller sets, but I have to build them myself, of course.

These microscopic worlds are my livelihood now. I had some exhibitions here at home in Hungary and also in Beijing, Paris, and London. I take pictures for advertisements too, and I love it because it's truly challenging! It let my works spread around the world as well. 

What has changed since my last post on Bored Panda? Well, I started to work with more companies, and also I made my own. I also started to make Tiny Wasteland videos. The next scenes are going to be Christmas-related pictures, so feel free to follow my social media for some festive miniatures.
