Photographer Captures Small Toys With Big Imagination
To be creative you have to keep your inner child alive. Mexican photographer Felix Hernandez Rodriguez is a grown-up who’s never stopped playing. He creates his majestic photographs including small toys.
Felix says that his photography is not “what exists there, but portray what exist in me”. The photographer creates magical scenes with the help of mundane products, such as flour to imitate snow or cigarette smokes to add some atmosphere. Felix mixes real and scaled models with the help of his vivid imagination and Photoshop. He uses a macro lens and the technique called “focus stacking”, when multiple photos are merged to create a wider focus.
“It’s such a big pleasure to create, almost like a powerful drug… you soon are addicted to it.” See the addictive shots and behind-the-scenes below!

Very extraordinary photo manipulations, cool style! Really good retouching! I wanted to retouch in this genre, but image manipulations are not my strong points. I send my works to online photo retouching services like fixthephoto.com if I need

Keeping the imagination alive! The toy car is the best because it's the most realistic.

So the artist heavily used photoshop to create these images? SNORE--- The concept of using toys as his primary subject has been lost to heavy editing. Like obviously he merged the image of the real boy into the boat image, then heavily blur/fogged it to look like it's a lake scene. SNORE--- might as well save his time by merging two image plates taken from google images. There were other boredpanda articles before where toys are also used and they were awesome because the toys are toys shot to look like real live scenes. Like The one where vintage toy cars are shot against real streets to create the 1950's street scene. AWESOME. Or the one where miniature bikes were shot against carefully created miniature forest scenes. WOW. Even the funny ones like when foods and movie toys are shot together.. that's even more convincing than this dumb article. So dumb, too much photoshop the feel of looking at toys-made-realisitic is lost. THUMBS DOWN >:-(

I really don't care about the technique... Technique is only at the service of creation.. what it really matters to me is bringing my dreams alive!... only that. I do it combining techniques... that's all... BTW... the fog is not blur in Photoshop... the fog is done in camera using dry ice (Co2)... Thanks for your point of view.
