Pierre Javelle&Akiko Ida

Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida are photographers who uses mainly fruits and tiny sculptures of people to create interesting photo's. I think his pictures are really interesting and it amazes me how they can come up with so many ideas of how to use the fruits. For example, I think the picture of the kiwi is genius, I know I'd never have been able to come up with the idea that the hair of a kiwi resembles grass and a tiny man could be mowing it with his tiny lawn mower. The images they produce are almost dream like. I think they create this feel to them using an effect similar to tilt-shift which makes the tiny people sculptures look real and life-like and instead of tiny people there's just giant food.
Here are some examples of their work:





The other thing I like about Pierre and Akiko's work is that you don't require to like in a certain place or environment or wait for a certain time of day to take these pictures. The props are always there in general stores to be accessed by anyone, this means that it's their creativity that makes these pictures awesome rather than a good camera and a good location.
