An artist named Andrew Whyte from Portsmouth UK has captured a series of a miniature LEGO Photographer. These photographs depict a mini LEGO figure taking pictures of different scenery in the UK. His concept of using a mini figure was to tell a story of its journey as if it were a real traveler who is sight-seeing.
This creative story is titled 'The Legographer' as the actual figure is portrayed as a photographer. The clever use of familiar scenery in the background shows the diversity in each location from its perspective. Everything is seen from a larger point of view but is also very effective as the LEGO photographer is captured it in a clever position. The artist Andre Whyte created 365 photographs of this mini figure's adventures.
