Artist and photographer Michael Paul Smith has spent hours upon hours photographing one special town that he holds very dear to his heart.
There is something that always drew him to it, and the images he created are simple, but stunning. They glow with small-town charm and innocence, reminiscent of days and decades past.
There’s not much going on in these pictures, but it’s obvious that this town is nothing but charm.
Michael builds custom miniature models and sets, meticulously crafting every detail.
If you didn’t know any better, you might think these are vintage photos of a town from a few decades ago…
He started building these models as an exercise. He wanted to practice his craft and also photography.
He never imagined it would be a “dream-like reconstruction” of the town he grew up in.
He creates the scenes by setting up Danbury Mint and Franklin Mint die cast autos and trucks in front of his models on card tables.
His selfies aren’t part of the official photo series, but I think they just add to the charm of his work.
