A Journey into Miniature Worlds with David Gilliver

Last night, Otley Camera Club was treated to a truly memorable and inspiring session from creative photographer David Gilliver, known for his imaginative and beautifully crafted miniature-world images. His talk was not only visually captivating but also wonderfully interactive, keeping the whole room engaged from start to finish.

David shared insights into his process, props, lighting, and storytelling — demonstrating how small-scale setups can produce big-impact photographs. His enthusiasm was infectious, and it wasn’t long before members were discussing where to buy miniature figures and how they might create scenes of their own. It was one of those special evenings that leaves everyone buzzing with new ideas.
