Nicholas Cobb - The Office Park

© Nicholas Cobb

As ever I never find things by actively searching for them, I seem to stumble across the items I post, purely by chance, like this book, "The Office Park" by Nicholas Cobb

This book of Cobb’s photography captures the everyday humdrum events and lives of city dwellers, with scenes taken form an elaborately created set models populated with figurines.

With precise compositions, close framing and using cleaver depth of field, Cobb brings these models alive creating movement and and incredibly realistic atmosphere.

In a world where tilt-shift photography is becoming increasingly fashionable (and easy to fake) these images are marvellously refreshing and captivating turning that trend on it's head.
