Toy Photography from McCarty PhotoWorks

McCarty_PhotoBrian McCarty is a photographer who creates some delightful images that I thought you would enjoy. From his Bio:

McCarty is known for his unique and innovative still-life photography. His work fuses reality and hyperreality through the personification and pantomime of toy characters, integrated into actual settings through the use of forced perspective. McCarty documents manufactured moments with a distinct narrative voice and presence, ironically using toy simulacra to explore both reification and actuality.

That’s a bunch of big fancy words to say that he takes pictures of toys set in the real world. Obviously his work is much deeper than that, which I think you can tell by looking at some of my favorites below:
