Martin and Muñoz

[All photographs by Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz; The Cliff, 2006; Meanwhile Further South, 2007; Experiment with Red, 2007.]

The mini zoo animals by e.soule reminded me of photography duo Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz, who have absolutely incredible scenes comprised of miniature figures in snow globes. The photos are at first charming and whimsical (check out their other series, Travelers,) but if you look closer they're really disturbing and not as cute as they first appear (ie: the people jumping off the cliff!) But the photos still draw me in, completely amazed and wondering--how did they make that!?
