Felix Hernandezis undeniably talented. This artist uses a mix of photography skills and minute arts and crafts talents to create visions of new worlds and amazing visions for you to enjoy.
The following is a gallery of behind-the-scenes images to show his various projects and the magic of his creations. We’re sure you’ll agree they are impressive. A little lighting here, some clever perspective there, a dash of modelling and you’ve got a whole new world before your eyes.
The boy and the dove
Felix’s work appears to use a healthy mix of perspective, attention to detail and Photoshop wizardry. In this image, a small boy is made even tinier and cast off into some imaginary waters.
Star Wars Tamashii Nations
Handcrafted dioramas, a small smoke machine and some clever camera placement lead to some fantastic and interesting results. This is just one of several Star Wars themed images Felix has created.
Shelby GT40
We see this as a brilliant way to enjoy a car you might not otherwise be able to afford. A spray of moisture, some clever lighting, the right angle and you’re able to make a small toy car look like a dream machine.
A rusty Nova
Felix is not just a dab hand at crafting and building models, it turns out he also has a talent for painting them in such a way that they appear worn out and broken too.
Here he’s made a toy car look like a well-worn automobile that’s rusty and run-down but still has plenty of character.
Myth mountains
Some clever photography can even transform a day at the beach into a foreboding landscape of a distant planet.
A lone stormtrooper can now be seen staring off thoughtfully into the distance, wondering what went wrong with his life.
The Love Car came about as aproject over several years. Another small model car turned into something much bigger.
There’sa great story behind this projecttoo, as Felix Hernandez set out to create something special without spending a fortune.
Heartbreak
This intricate work of art was the result of a single word. The idea of heartbreak becoming something visual with a carefully constructed cliff face falling apart as two elephants reach out for one another.
We love seeingthe various small stepsthat go into creating a masterpiece like this.
Some of these works are a mix of reality and cleverly crafted dioramas.
For this one, Felix used a tiny scale model of an East German Trabant backdropped with an image of the Los Andes mountains snapped on a trip to Peru.
Future Car
From broken old cars on desolate landscapes, to something much more futuristic.
Felix once again uses his skills, attention to detail and infinite patience to create a magnificent scene using another model car, some clever lighting and fake fog to transform an old-looking car into futuristic flying one.
Back in 2017, Felix worked on creating an awesome vision of the iconic vehicle from Ghost Busters as part of a project called Famous Cars.
Lighting and smoke effects were used to give the toy model a new lease of life and resulted in this awesome vision along withother cool visualsthat included seeing the car doing a wheelie through the smog.
