i have a major weakness for anything in miniature form. i don’t collect tiny tea sets or anything but i do love photography that features small-scale installations. so when british artist holly ormrod sent over her work i was instantly smitten with her series called “bookwork” which features a small plastic man crawling through a hole carved in a large book. along with other beautiful book-based installations like the fish-themed “old man and the sea” piece, holly has an online portfolio brimming with gorgeous work. i wish i had the server capacity (argh!) to post dozens of picture here but instead i’ll pick my favorites above and below and link to her spectacular gallery online. enjoy!

Oh! How lovely!
Her work is wonderful, thanks for sharing.
I am an absolute sucker for miniatures too, and love the quiet yet extremely clever style! Thank you so much for sharing, I adore it!
I saw this photographer at the Ann Arbor Art Fair last summer, and thought you might like this as well.

Franck Juery takes amazing polaroids and he has a few series of miniatures:

This is really great! I got this link recently, a blog of by a young man who does little people portraits so brilliantly.

I, too, am a fan. What is it about miniatures that make them so alluring? I especially love anything miniature out of context, like in the photos you featured above.
