So be honest, my ninjas – how many of you had to take a second look to be sure that this wasn’t a photograph of a model? Pretty siiick, right? Welcome to the world of Ben Thomas, AKA the City Shrinker – a photographer who’s goal is to force you to question the way you perceive your surroundings.

My aim is to give that feeling of newness with each shot I take. My method is to take what was once large and shrink it down to model size. To take the familiar and get you thinking even if for a second “wait a minute, is that…”

Head on over to the City Shrinker‘s website for more of his images – or drop him an email to pick up a limited edition signed print [or just to let him know he’s ill].

  3. I’d be curious to know how much one of those models would cost to build. That’s crazy.

  4. Mark, i think you missed the point, these aren’t models they are photographs taken in and around Melbourne in Australia made to look like models. Seeing as you could tell then it has obviously worked.

  5. I don’t think I missed the point at all. I think it’s about blurring the boundaries between a modeled and actual environment. Ben Thomas states, “My method is to take what was once large and shrink it down to model size.” Based on that sentence I would say that he is generating models. If you find information that proves otherwise on his site please let me know. I think it would be eqaully amazing if he was altering photography to make it look like a model.

  6. So…I’m pretty sure that they’re photos of real places, not models – the intention is to make you think they might be models.

  7. Hey guys. Thanks for the cool write up!

    Just to clarify the discussion, these are shots or real buildings. Although I wish I had the skills in model making, that would be nuts.

    Cheers
