I am Chris Willemsen from the Netherlands, and I have been involved in various types of photography for a long time.

Through my creativity, I came up with the idea of putting miniatures in the ordinary world and taking pictures of them that put a smile on people's faces. Where my inspiration came from is difficult to say, you see miniatures near trains and think, I can do something fun with that.

Sometimes I see an item and think I can do something with it, then I put it in my studio and start making a composition. This can take quite a lot of time.

The problem is that the figures are not flexible, so you have to position everything exactly to get a good composition. And they fall over quite a bit, and you can start over.

Since the depth of field is very small in macro, I sometimes take 30 photos with different depths of field to get a totally perfect and sharp image. This whole process can take hours before the photo is as I imagined it.

The nice thing is that people usually respond to my work with a smile, which is also why I say: The BIG fun of photography with SMALL things.

I am dedicated to pursuing my passion for creating art as long as my imagination and creativity continue to flow. I am constantly experimenting with new techniques and mediums, always striving to push the boundaries of my abilities. I invite you to take a look at my portfolio of works, which are available for purchase here.
