The City in Miniature by Lori Nix, March/April 2010

“I build complex dioramas in the living room of my Brooklyn apartment and photograph the results…in The City, I focus on the ruins of urban landscapes.”

Brooklyn, NY photographer Lori Nix invites us into the imaginative and amazingly detailed worlds she creates in miniature and explains the lighting and view camera techniques she uses to create her images.

Born in Kansas, Lori Nix holds an MFA in photography from Ohio University, as well as degrees in photography, ceramics and art history from Truman State University, MO. Her work has been exhibited across the United States and is found in numerous museum and corporate collections.
