The pictures you are about to see are beautiful works of art, but not because of what you might think. They are all made by Matthew Albanese, a brilliant artist and a photographer. However, his true gift is not in his photography skills, but in his remarkable talent for handcrafting models... |

|
Matthew's work involves the construction of small-scale and meticulously detailed models, using various materials and objects to create emotive landscapes. Every aspect, from the construction of the model to the lighting, is painstakingly pre-planned using both complex methods, and time consuming trial and error. His time is well spent if you ask me, as these photos-models are a true thing of beauty. |
