What happens when a miniature photographer discusses collaboration with a multi-million car company? He ends up shooting their $160,000 car, an Audi R8, using a $40 scale model.
Photographer Felix Hernández (more from Felix) discussed some potential ideas with Audi. The result was so awesome that Audi decided to share it on their media channels. The catch? the photos were not made using a real car. Instead Felix used a small model car.
The process is not trivial though and does require some understanding of scale, perspective and whole lots of flour.

Done all the time, photographers make stills and movies with scaled down versions of just about everything!
Even better; Use the miniature for reference to shoot backdrops, then let a 3d designer get to work.

Espero que el pago no sea también a escala
He ruined all the justification for on-location shoots with awesome cars. Next up, who needs a supermodel when you have a $40 Barbie doll. JK. Nice work.
You can’t drive a $40 scale model…
Yeah!!! Totally agree. Here is my version : http://www.davidcolat.com/7/blog/23/photo-auto-audi-r8-gt.html
What a cool shoot.
