I’ve spent years creating this project called “Tiny Wasteland.” The series features miniature figures placed next to everyday objects in order to create the illusion of microscopic worlds.

Since I’m a food photographer, the whole idea came across the kitchen table. I've taken over 100 pictures already from this tiny world and here are some of them. The rest of my work can be found on my Instagram and Facebook pages.

Please find my previous works by following one of these links: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3Part 4, Part 5, and Part 6.

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.
