Southwestern Surreal Photography

The 'Southwest' Series is a Surreal Journey with Miniature People

— September 13, 2013 — Art & Design
The husband and wife photographer duo of Kurt and Edwige Moses have created more fascinating photos with their 'Southwest' series. The photographs depict an otherworldly experience across southwestern United States, all through the eyes of miniature toys.

The 'Southwest' series is part of a larger project from the team that focuses on similarly themed photographs across the world. The aptly titled, 'Un Petit Monde,' or 'A Small World' project amalgamates all of their mini-series that explore the same concept.

As they explain, "[it] combines the challenges of capturing an evocative, aesthetically pleasing image while documenting a scene in the real world environment using only available light and existing conditions." Such a creative and adventurous project is definitely a large undertaking, but as this series proves, the duo is more than capable of it.
