Incredibly realistic dioramas

Photographer Lori Nix constructs the subjects she photographs

"I am afraid of what the future holds if we do not change our ways regarding the climate, but at the same time I am fascinated by what a changing world can bring," says photographer Lori Nix in a statement.

In "The City" series Lori Nix moved from creating outdoor landscapes to indoor settings. It takes Nix seven months to build a scene in her living room in Brooklyn and three weeks to shoot the final image.

Lori Nix has been working on "The City" series since 2005 and has plans to continue it for another three or four years.

"I have so many scenes I want to build. I still find them challenging and rewarding. I'm also working on a black and white series called Unnatural History, a behind the scenes look into the workings of the Natural History Museum, where all is not so scientific."

Lori Nix began her photography career in college, working for the college newspaper.

"In college I studied ceramics and photography. With ceramics, you're always building the object from scratch. This translated well in my photo studies, where my desire was to construct the image rather than find an existing one," she said in a statement.
