This is a series of macro photography of little people with things from the normal world. All with a smile.
I made these Little world photos using my Nikon D800 camera with most of the time using my macro lens because I wanted to make something different from standard photography.
Some photos took me several hours to create. The hardest part is to keep the right DOF, therefore for some photos I use stack photography. That is because the right depth of field is not possible with 1 photo on this near distance.
Some photos take a long time to complete, but it ends where the creativity ends. Click here and here for my previous posts.

Reading A Book Between The Fungi
I am Chris Willemsen from the Netherlands, and I have been involved in various types of photography for a long time.
Through my creativity, I came up with the idea of putting miniatures in the ordinary world and taking pictures of them that put a smile on people's faces. Where my inspiration came from is difficult to say, you see miniatures near trains and think, I can do something fun with that.
Sometimes I see an item and think I can do something with it, then I put it in my studio and start making a composition. This can take quite a lot of time.
The problem is that the figures are not flexible, so you have to position everything exactly to get a good composition. And they fall over quite a bit, and you can start over.

Oh man, that ladder set up is a disaster waiting to happen. Safety first, fellas!

Since the depth of field is very small in macro, I sometimes take 30 photos with different depths of field to get a totally perfect and sharp image. This whole process can take hours before the photo is as I imagined it.
The nice thing is that people usually respond to my work with a smile, which is also why I say: The BIG fun of photography with SMALL things.
I am dedicated to pursuing my passion for creating art as long as my imagination and creativity continue to flow. I am constantly experimenting with new techniques and mediums, always striving to push the boundaries of my abilities. I invite you to take a look at my portfolio of works, which are available for purchase here.

This is a great example of how you need to care for little insects, because some insects are important!
These are so incredible.They look so realistic and the posing is really clever
