Henk Tes and Ellen Brooks

Ellen brooks and Henk Tes both do some really interesting things with scale.  They construct miniature worlds where elaborate scenes take place.  Ellen brooks seems to deal with striking moments of suburbia or every day life.  Henk Tes on the other hand is still working in the miniature but is doing something completely different.  Here creates more surreal or abstract scenarios and actions.  He also plays with collage elements much more by incorporating foreign backgrounds.  Henk Tes is obsessed with popular culture and it shows consistently through his photos. Henk Tes pictures don't feel as "miniature" as Ellen brooks because of the play with lighting and abstraction.
