Walter Wick, photographer and children's book author who has produced the “I Spy” and “Can You See What I See” books, sales of which have totaled over 19 million copies is also a master model builder. He creates layered scenes of found or created objects that he carefully lights and photographs them.
Above is one of his videos called "Balancing Act" showing the building (and unbuilding) of a teetering stack of toys.
