Stage Of Mind – an exhibition of photographs by Korean artist Jee Young Lee, who transforms her tiny 3.6 x 4.1 x 2.4-meter studio in Seoul into elaborate dioramas inspired by her personal life and old Korean fables.
Lee works without Photoshop and with such attention to minute detail that the dioramas (in which she features herself) often take months to finish.
Stage Of Mind is on display at the OPIOM Gallery in Opio, France from February 7 to March 7 next year.

Model maker and photographer Michael Paul Smith has an extensive collection of detailed die-cast model cars and a keen eye for forced perspective.
For the last 25 years, Smith has been honing his craft, setting up miniature vehicle dioramas (mostly against real-world backdrops) to create atmospheric and super-realistic vistas from a fictional town he calls Elgin Park.
The photographer explains his process in an interview with Fstoppers.

An ongoing project (since 2006) by London photographer Carl Warner, who uses deli meats, fresh fish, fruit, vegetables and bread to create incredibly plausible (and highly nutritious) landscape dioramas.
If you like this, you may care to peruse his Bodyscapes series, where he does something similar with the human form.
