Classic Photos in Lego

Classic photographs done over using lego by photographer/artist Mike Stimpson. He has recreated some of the most iconic pictures from photography masters such as Cartier-Bresson and Rober Capa. The pictures can be seen on the BBC website.

I was quite amused at the images and the photographers take on re-creating such classic images using a child’s toy. It just goes to show that with a little imagination one can create using any material or medium.

Fluidity in ideas lead to the creation of great pieces of art. Now not saying that these photographs are going to be clasped to the bosom of the art establishment, but you never know.
