# Giantized Landmarks Alexandre Duret-Lutz Creates Miniature Worlds from Iconic Structures By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2009-10-23 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alexandre-duret-lutz References: [dailymail](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1222162/Sensational-images-artists-mini-planets-styled-worlds-favourite-landmarks.html) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/gadl/) Apparently the world is even smaller than I originally thought. Alexandre Duret-Lutz is a photographer who has created his own [miniature worlds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-of-miniverse) while photographing well-known landmarks in the world. This truly spectacular feat for the photographic world plays around with perspective and size in the most interesting manner. Check out Duret-Lutz's masterful photography including a [giant Eiffel Tower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notre-dame-cathedral) and [Colosseum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creator-expert-colosseum) above. The very last photo is of the talented photographer himself. **Implications** - The demand for engaging art and imagery is on the rise as consumers have grown tired of the mind-numbing entertainment that's been dominating North American media outlets.
