While I don’t really intend to fea­ture many pho­tog­ra­phers on Brown Paper Bag, the workWal­ter Mar­tin and Paloma Muñoz really delights me and I really wanted to share it on the site.

I think it’s my affin­ity for toys that attracts me to Wal­ter and Paloma’s work. Each scene they’ve cre­ated is like look­ing into a dio­rama. They’ve have set up the mood with back­drops that feel like each envi­ron­ment is in its own world. The char­ac­ters and sets feel very play­ful, and it’s like make believe.

Each scene seems like a fairy tale, with the feel­ing that there is a tragedy around the cor­ner. Some of their work includes exe­cu­tion, a cou­ple danc­ing in a grave yard, a group of peo­ple run­ning towards the end of a cliff. It’s dark, yet so beau­ti­fully set up and pho­tographed at the same time.
