The Lost Man
As a photographer, I am fascinated by metals and their different appearances depending on the perspective and lighting. At some point I started collecting small to tiny metal parts made of stainless steel or aluminium that I found in metal or electronic scrap. I use the collected material to build tiny figures and create miniature worlds. The structure and shapes of the metal parts used and their ability to reflect light are always of crucial importance, as it is precisely this effect that I use as the visual basis for my ideas and images.
The created composition was illuminated, photographed with focus stacking and then finalised with digital post-processing.
