Delightfully Enchanted Miniature Worlds by Felix Hernandez

Felix Hernandez builds worlds the way memory works. Quietly. Carefully. On a tabletop. He calls this art Dreamphography.

A giant hand reaching down to pick up a small house in a surreal landscape with towering mountains and a dramatic sky.

The Mexican photographer creates miniature scenes that feel cinematic and deeply familiar.

A hand reaching towards a miniature vehicle on sand dunes, with a large sun setting in the background, creating an orange glow. Multiple angles of the scene are shown.

Snow-covered roads, fog-heavy landscapes, lone cars paused in silence. Nothing is full scale, yet everything feels convincingly real.

A vintage car suspended in a beam of light against a dark, starry sky, surrounded by a snowy landscape.

Using modest materials and patient lighting, Hernandez constructs environments piece by piece. Flour becomes snow.

A vintage ghost-catching vehicle surrounded by fog, with flashing lights on top and a distinctive logo on the side.

Smoke becomes atmosphere. A small model becomes a place you swear you have been before.

The illusion succeeds not because of cleverness, but because of restraint. You are not asked to admire the trick. You are invited to step into it.

A police car with a flashing light is depicted flying through a dusty environment.

He calls this approach Dreamphography, a practice less concerned with documenting the world as it is and more focused on revealing how it lingers in the imagination.

A vintage police car is captured mid-air, surrounded by a cloud of dust and debris, with its siren light flashing.

The work lives somewhere between photography, sculpture, and quiet storytelling.

There is something reassuring in these images. In a time of constant spectacle and endless scale, Hernandez reminds us that wonder does not require magnitude.

Believability comes from the mood itself. The scale is optional.

A hand holding a paintbrush is touching the track beside a red Ford GT40 race car, showcasing details and highlighting the vehicle against a blurred background.

And sometimes the most expansive worlds are the ones built slowly, by hand, with care.

Felix Hernandez builds worlds the way some people remember childhood. Slowly. Intentionally. On a tabletop.
