As part of our ongoing partnership with Feature Shoot , Beautiful/Decay is sharing Alison Zavos’ article on Matthew Albanese. “DIY Paradise” was constructed from cotton, salt, cooked sugar, tin foil, feathers & canvas. My work involves the construction of small-scale meticulously detailed models using various materials and objects to create emotive landscapes.

Using a mixture of photographic techniques such as scale, depth of field, white balance and lighting I am able to drastically alter the appearance of my materials.— Matthew Albanese Matthew Albanese is a fine art photographer from New Jersey who specializes in creating and photographing miniatures from common household objects and materials.

This is the first of two, maybe three shots from tonight's Heat the Streets event in Blackpool. Libby and I took the kids down to see the various displays, which were all the more impressive as a) they were outdoors, and b) the temperature was around 1°C – i.e. not the sort of weather to be performing with hardly any clothes on. Though, that said, the woman in tonight's shot is practically fully clothed in comparison to one of the others I'm going to put up ;-) <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>4K Ultra High Definition
