A photograph of a practical film miniature: a small town built from card, foam and balsa on a studio table. Photographed low and close with a wide lens as if full scale, but with visible glue seams, foam texture standing in for rock, a painted card backdrop and dust hanging in a hard beam of light. Shallow depth of field that gives the scale away, warm tungsten studio lighting.
