I remember when I was a kid in the 70's, I saw in a photo magazine an article about a photographer that took pictures of 3D architectural models, to create a preview of what a building project might look like when completed. What I remember was that he used a lens that looked very much like the Laowa 24mm f/14 2x macro probe. Supposedly he used it to get the viewpoint low enough and the final image to look realistic. I think the lens in this article was a special order kind of a thing. But he Laowa is readily available today.
I absolutely love your photography and work gave me back my motivation. I've seen your dinosaur figure video too, have you done photography with animal figures?
J'adore! J'ai une grande passion c'est le jeux de société et je dois avoir des milliers de figurines, je les mettrai bien en scène en voyant ta vidéo :)
Last year I made a Christmas card type of photo, with a couple of items. A car and a House which were keyrings, some parts of succulent (plant) leaves as Christmas trees in the background. Wheat flour as snow, Photographed with a Jupiter 135 F4 with macro extensions on a A7II. Actually inspired by you, great videos !
Thank you so many questions answered!!! and awesome photos to boot! One of my winter photography bucket list items is miniature photography. Now out to google to find local miniature train store hmmm
some comedy macro shots of famous events, ie you could have the jfk assassination where you see the gunman's gun falling from the window and jfk surviving or da vinchi painting pictures of cats with the mona lisa painting screwed up into a ball in the corner. great video, loads of possibilities with miniatures photography
Strange I have an obsession with everything miniature, why is that. I have ordered some little people before I got here i don't know why, I wanted to try to recreate a town preferably set in Britain or USA around the 1950s. Am i alone in this? Am I crazy? Maybe I am but loved your video and has inspired me to do something with the little people when the postman finally delivers them. However I ordered 1:64 as I thought that was the size for the old matchbox sized cars but now I'm not so sure.
Thank you for this video! It is the only one on UA-cam which specifically answers all my questions! Just one last question about scale : would you recommend N scale or TT scale figurines for toy photography?
I only use HO scale, because it's the most realistic for close focus photography, N scale would be interesting if you want to put really tiny people inside an object but they loose realism because so tiny.
That Laowa 15mm macro is amazing, but a bit costly. There is a version of this same lens without the shift mechanism sold onder the brand name Opteka. It is 500 Euro's cheaper. No joke. I bought it for 150 Euro's and i love it. And yes, it is the same lens.
Very cool what you can do with a few miniature figures and a camera! I was hoping you would narrate this one... with no narration and the "like" button graphics, this video feels a bit cheaper and more corporate than your other videos, which have more of your personality in them! En tout cas, merci pour le vidéo, j'aimerais bien faire des photos des petits mecs comme tu l'a fait !
I haven't discovered macro photography yet. I have been zooming out and up. I friend of mine makes bad painting of landscapes and bad paintings of people, and when he combines the two it sells. People don't see how bad it is. The magic of a person in a landscape overwrites everything. Still I dont place people in my landscapes.
Those with the firefighters and with the chocolate were my favourite. So cool!

Crumpled blue paper + whale won it for me. Prior to seeing that, it was the chocolate. Well done, Mathieu.
I always wondered where you could find these!
Thanks!
Hopefully I can start exploring the world of miniature photography soon!
OK I need to try this during the next quarantine
Totally !
It will be very difficult to get the shot keeping the little people 6 feet apart 😂
Thank you again for the very inspiring video. I surely have to try some of these.
Go for it!
excellent video - exactly what I was looking for, many thanks for your effort to produce this!

Inspiring as always!

Genius!

@@MathieuStern thank you! I find HO scale has the most selection anyways!
Checking your Amazon links before it's all gone!
Bes fast !
Where did you get the mini figurines from?
This is awesome... I think I found my next hobby.
You should!
2:37 its so easy to get shots like that when using an actual camera and not a phone lol
Can you do how to record them for UA-cam videos? I really need that .
Where do you get these figurines?
Is it need a macro lens or no?
Oh man i want to do this so badly!❤
But omg the figures are soooo expensive!
I know!!
Awsome video subbed
Thanks for the sub!
This is awesome!
Thanks a lot
Bro,what ia name of the camera model used in this.. thanks!
Awesome man :)
Thanks 😁
This is art😍
In the 70ieth we call it tabletop.... and used mostly a 20mm lens for 35mm film....
Awesome.
Glad you think so!

Coole Idee!!!
Is 1:64 scale good too?
Bos 1 kotak atau 1 Paket full setnya berapa ya....???

Sand sugar n candy will be nice
So can you actually make money with that kind of photography ?
Inspired by Tatsuya Tanaka perhaps?
Yes He is the best !
Many others artist use the same figures but he is the most famous right now
