Every time I see this style of photography it always surprises me how beautiful it portrays its subject. On this occasion choosing something so well known and vast as NYC and brining that ‘childlike dream’ of model railways and figurines. 5 wonderful shots.

I find the images a bit boring, but well executed.

I’m kinda sensing a bit of that effect you can use to make the photo appear as if it’s of a model set rather than real life. It looks great either way! Good work.

Really thought i was looking at close-ups of a model till I went back and actually read the words. Craziness. Nice job.

I think Stephen is a fag.

These look fake. Not in a ‘they’re clearly photoshopped’ sort of way but that they look like miniature fake versions of the city.
