Bernard Shaw has a famous aphorism: "The world is ruled by the young - when they are old." Talented photographer Zev too young to rule the world, but already brave enough to confidently declare himself to him. The 14-year-old Massachusetts native has a series of self-portraits that amaze with their sincerity and lightness. On them Zev - just a grain of sand in a fantasy world.
On the site Kulturologiya.ru we regularly talk about young talented photographers who cannot imagine life without a camera in their hands. The work of 17-year-old Alex Stoddard and his 18-year-old colleagues M-a-e-e and Christian Benetel is aimed primarily at capturing emotions, capturing the unique moments of life. Zev took a slightly different path: the photographer offers to look at the world with different eyes, as if he suddenly became as tall as a boy with a finger.
The series of self-portraits is called "Little Folk": this is an amazing journey through the natural world, where a leaf can be like a huge umbrella, and the stems of grass are like giant plants. The indisputable merit of Zev is that he managed to find such a bright and high-quality embodiment for his ideas.
Despite the fact that Zev is just starting his career, he has already had the good fortune to collaborate with renowned professional photographer Joel Robinson. One of the series of works by the master is dedicated to the life of a tiny man who managed to get into the library. Of course, Zev's self-portraits are very reminiscent of the journey of the crumbs-bibliophile among the giant books from Joel Robinson, but nevertheless, the talent of the 14-year-old guy should be recognized, which allowed him to master photography at a sufficiently high level.

Tiny Men in the World of Food from the creative duo Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida
All children love the tale of Gulliver and the Lilliputians.

For example, the creative duet of artists Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida has a love of children's fairy tales in a collection where tiny people conquer mountains of food.
