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.

The lighting looks natural that it is quite hard to tell that they are unreal. Btw, that big head pops out of the woods did surprised me a little :D

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.

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

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

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

Wonderful! And special thanks for the Hudson Hornet – Hudsons were our family’s world (and bread and butter) in New Hampshire for a long time.

Michael, gracias por ese gran trabajo. Yo vivo en Guatemala y pertenezco a un club de aficionados a autos a escala y todos hemos gozado viendo esas bellezas de autos y el trabajo que has realizado.

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.

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.
