Who inspires me?

(The above photo set is called "Fantastic Voyage" by Slinkachu.)

I recently came across a photographer by the name of Slinkachu who has been working on a project which he calls "little people" for five years now. I find his work so interesting! He uses small figurines and creates a scene in an ordinary setting and creates a unique photo which tells a story. He usually has photos in sets of 2 or 3 photographs starting with the intended scene, and slowly zooming out to see the "ordinary" scene it took place in.

He intended this project to make people more aware of their surroundings. I love this idea because it reinforces the idea that with photography you can make even the simplest of things interesting. In his biography he says that "the scenes I set up, and the titles I give these scenes aim to reflect the loneliness and melancholy of living in a big city, almost being lost and overwhelmed." I think his work inspires me because it proves the well known quote "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". He takes things you would see every day on the side of the road and turns them into an interesting photograph! Visit his website or his blog to see all of his photos and to learn more about him!
