Dioramas are often impressive in and of themselves but the series titled "Previously" by Bill Finger, a photographer based in Seattle, Washington, takes it to a whole new level. The talented artist has painstakingly created scenes that could easily be mistaken for a real place. From bedrooms to hospitals and even outdoor ditches, he relies heavily on patience and an eye for detail. While the cigarette tray and coke can on the table in the bedroom scene is a nice touch, it is the gun on the floor that will really intrigue people.
"Previously" by Bill Finger essentially makes people wonder what happened in the scene before everyone exited the rooms. Full of drama, the dioramas are nevertheless no bigger than 1/6th to 1/12th. Each model is destroyed after Finger photographs them.
