Art and work
Péter Csákvári says that making these miniature worlds came about when he started doing food photography with a macro lens then realised he could do more. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Coca-Cola tables
Péter Csákvári's passion has gone on to become his livelihood. He exhibits all over the world while using his talents for adverts as well. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Smoking kills
We like the detail of this image and the simple horrors of it. Smoking is bad for you. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Laying pipe
These tiny workmen are clearly making the most of what's at hand. Using a plastic straw as a pipeline. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Sponge volleyball
Beach volleyball has nothing on sponge volleyball. Just imagine playing on a sponge-like this. Bouncey fun. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Microgardening
It's fun imagining these tiny gardeners working hard on their greens. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Fish tank in a train carraige
It seems like these tiny people are brilliantly resourceful. Here they've converted a tiny train carriage into a fish tank. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Food construction
It seems that a lot of effort goes into something simple as making some food. So much so that even a fork lift needs to be bought in to help. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Canned people
Imagine opening up a can and expecting to find some tuna only to discover two people sitting on a park bench starting back at you. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Narcissists
Even these tiny people are narcissists it seems. This one caught on camera casually snapping a selfie in front of a dead bird. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Bug repairmen
As an alternative to an insect vet there's a world of bug repair people working away helping out injured tiny creatures. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Butter is slippery
Someone has slipped and fallen in the butter and the police have shown up to rescue them. Things are not going well and there's certainly going to be a mess. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Canned kraken
In one can there was a peaceful couple under a tree, but opening this one has apparently unleashed the kraken. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Flour worm
We like the imagination of Péter Csákvári and the creative curiosities he throws into his environment and his photos. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
So that's how they're made
Here we see some tiny workers going about their job of making sultanas. Or are they reinflating dishevelled grapes? (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Making popcorn
We like to look at these images and imagine a tiny army of works beavering away like this. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Buckle up
Some of these tiny worlds tell an important story for real life as well. Like the importance of wearing a seatbelt in case you crash into a giant strawberry. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
Cookie monster
Ever wondered where the chocolate chips in cookies come from? Wonder no more. (image credit: Péter Csákvári/Tiny Wasteland)
