Feast for the Eyes: Photographers Craft Tiny Food Worlds with Mini Figurines

@Pubity recently posted some pictures on Instagram, taken by reknowned food photographers Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle.

They have crafted whimsical visual narrratives by using miniature train figurines on different kinds of food items.

This is part of the duo's project Minimiam, which was launched in 2002.

This reflects an innovative take on food photography, where boring, old peanuts have been turned into a tiny sculptor's masterpiece.

MINIMIAM is an apt combination of the words miniature and “yummy“ (miam in French). The miniature dramas introduce us to the lives of mini people of various vocations in their everyday situations.
