TOY CAR ADVENTURES

However, all the vehicles are tiny toys photographed in scenic landscape settings. These realistic tiny toy adventures were captured by Swiss photography student Kim Leuenberger, 22. ‘It all started as a bit of an accident,’ says Kim, now of London and studying at University of the Arts London.
