Behind the art

How Anthony Does It

Every photograph begins with miniature cars, real locations, and a carefully chosen angle that brings the whole scene to life.

It starts small.

Miniature cars, handmade details, and careful styling.

The setting makes it real.

Real locations and natural light create the atmosphere.

The camera sells it.

Perspective makes the miniature world feel full-size.

Bring America’s Mother Road Home.

17 all-new Route 66 photographs by Anthony Schmidt: made from miniature cars, real locations, and a little forced-perspective magic. A keepsake for classic-car fans, road-trippers, and anyone who loves Americana.
