These miniature scenes do not happen out of the blue. I am an amateur photographer. I love wearing that type of cap. People have to wait for my while I take a photo. And yes, I have photographed shop windows before.
Scanning my photos for proof, I found some pictures that fit the bill. Looking back even made me realize I hid my face in my real-life self portraits as well.
I think when we photograph we always do it with thousands of pictures in our heads, even if we do not have them all before our inner eye in the moment we release the shutter.

I love it, Tobias. Both photos are wonderful.
You’re so right Tobias, we may not realize it but the pictures are in are heads just waiting for the right opportunity. Nicely done!
Love that opener! Photographing shop windows is a whole skill in itself. To be in the photo, or not- that is the question!
Exactly, Jo! And once you decided you don’t want to be in the picture, things can get really tricky… Thanks for your comment!
A behind-the-scenes looking back at your creative art, Tobias. Great post!
Thanks, Egídio! Glad you enjoyed it.
