3 Create your own world of miniature marvels
You don’t have to go outdoors to capture the real world, says Roddy Llewellyn. Why not use your imagination and create your own world safely at home?
With just a few miniature models, whether they’re landscaping models, Lego, or old toy soldiers you may have in the back of a cupboard somewhere, we can explore our imagination. Creating model dioramas indoors can lead to some enjoyable photo projects, with interesting results. If you have children, or nephews and nieces, you could get them involved with the project with you, and start their interest in photography.
This is a fun project to do at home, and with a bit of planning, can produce some creative results. So bring out your inner child, and have a go at producing your own miniature world!
