“A picture is worth a thousand words.” This photo showcases a minimalist approach to a unique perspective using macro photography, food, and miniature figures. Summer wouldn't be complete without a trip to the beach and playing in the sand. In this instance, the children get a treat with chocolate and peanut butter. The challenge of this project was to see beyond a piece of candy and tap into your inner child. My aim is to demonstrate how familiar food can be thrilling and let your imagination soar.

Devin's work as a photographer has evolved over time. He now focuses on a minimalist approach to photography, combining macro photography and miniature figures with everyday objects, foods, and beverages. Through this medium, Devin expresses his sense of humor and aims to bring a smile to people's faces. He actively participates in national and international photography competitions and has been honored with numerous awards. Devin's photographs are displayed at juried art exhibits and featured in various publications.
