From escaping the ice cream icebergs around the Titanic to a ballerina dancing in a shower head – these imaginative images capture life in miniature.

They were produced by photographer William Kass who recreated scenes from films and everyday life with the use of tiny figures surrounded by food and household objects.

The 32-year-old can spend up to three days constructing his intricate sets, which have also included a hunting range on top of a shaving brush and divers dropping into a coconut.

His Minimize project has also recreated a carnival from his native Brazil on top of a bunch of grapes.




‘I wanted to use my skills to create something which shows humans in a surreal, macro world,’ he said.

‘My work can be a way to draw attention to the small details of our daily life. Using foods and daily objects as scenery. I buy small dolls which I use in each of my images.

‘I use the dolls and create a scene for them using everyday objects or food. In some cases, I try to do a remake of a movie scene.’

But setting up the images in his home office can be a race against time, especially those involving food that can spoil easily.

‘For the image called Titanic, I used real ice cream, so I had to study the lighting before as the ice cream melts too fast,’ he explained.

Kass said his favourite was ‘Shaving Brush Savannah’ because of ‘the simplicity of the image’.

He added: ‘For me, this project is great. I’m loving this series. It is constantly a work in progress as I continue to come up with new ideas for scenes.’
