Dainty Dioramic Photography

The Erin Tyner 'Half Awake' Series Tells Vulnerable Stories

The Erin Tyner 'Half Awake' diorama series is absolutely beautiful. By using train figurines, household items, natural objects and thoughtful placements, this American photographer has created emotional and picturesque scenes.

Often relying on the vulnerability of a certain circumstance, the Erin Tyner Half Awake series is also incredibly poetic. For even more images from this portfolio, I suggest you visit Behance. Although a photographer by title, Tyner believes she is "a storyteller by heart." I couldn't have agreed more.
