Miniature World of Michael Paul Smith

Michael Paul Smith photos

These photos are not so ordinary as it might appear at first glance. The fact is that each and every shot is a part of a miniature world called Elgin Park carefully constructed and photographed by Michael Paul Smith. To get this effect it was used an old trick described in many specialized books. You should just put the model in one line with the background. And no photoshop! All buildings are constructed on a scale 1 / 24 by the author. That’s how Michael Paul Smith transforms his love for 20 centuries into real modern art.

Great presentation, enjoyed it very much. As I drive a 1968 Plymouth Valiant. Wish I knew how to put it in my favorites.

Every athlete appreciates that there are few who become Olympians. And every hobbyist appreciates that there are few that become artists.
However it is the artists like Michael who inspire us to become the best hobbyists we can be…
And that reflects on a most worthy life.
Thank you for continuing to create, inspire and make the world a better place Michael.

So amazing. The Dinner is very much like one my Father owned in Moline, Il.in the 50′s. Many of the cars shown I have owned at one time or another and wish I still had.
Your work and photography is spectacular.

Reminds me of the Archie Comics of the ’50′s and ’60′s! Especially the Ice Cream Parlor, just like Pop’s Choklit Shop! Wish the world was still like that!

That’s pretty cool, however i live in colorado springs and if you wanna see something really amazing look at the Michael Garmin gallery (at least i think that’s it, it’s been forever since I’ve toured his workshop.) I don’t know if it’s still around but he made all his own pieces by hand and it’s simply amazing. I think it’s called magic town or something.

These miniatures are incredible and awesome. So realistic, at first I really thought they were full size because I love 40′s & 50′s era cars.
I build 19th century building 1″ 1/4 high X 3/4″ wide with windows, trip and wooden sidewalks.

Michael,
Your interest and talent are unbelieveable. You have pleased many a person with your gifts. What a pleasure it was to view the show and how suprised I was when you appeared in the picture to discover they were all hand made and not photographs. I would love to be able to get a series of pictures that I could use as a backdrop for my HO model railroading.

Absolutely amazing; had I not been told these were models I could easily have accepted them as genuine antique photos. Great job

Art is contemplation: the pleasure of the spirit that pervades the nature and discovers that she also has a soul. It is the most sublime mission of man, it is the exercise of thought that seeks to understand the universe, and make the others understand

WHen I saw the photo with him in it, I got kinda scared. . .

This is nothing short of amazing. Unbelievable detail and there is even a Studebaker or two in there. My Mile stone 1956 Golden Hawk would be proud to be in with these beauties. THANK YOU for your time and talent. This is a wonderful display of yesterday

Very nicely done. Very cool look at nostalgia. I too as Jeannie suggested, would like to buy the photos. I am in a local car club. We own 30′s through 70′s cars and a slideshow would work so well art one of our meetings. Please consider reducing your work to a CD and selling it.

I’m truly amazed. Brilliant work.
