photographer of the week

Matthew Albanese, a photographer and sculptor, creates small scale models that result in very believable landscapes. The the images are captured give the illusion that they are life-size objects. His volcano, Breaking Point, was made from tile grout, cotton, phosphorus ink, and was illuminated from within by six 60 watt light bulbs. Burning Room was made out of wood, nylon, plexiglass, purchased dollhouse furniture, and then was set on fire to achieve the effect seen below.
