As one of the most famous landscape photographers of all time,Ansel Adamshas inspired generations of photography lovers.
Micheels spent one month designing the 1,104-piece set, which he then posted to theLEGO Ideas website.
Micheels himself is a photographer and has admired Adams' work since he was a child.
So, it only seemed natural to translate his admiration into a LEGO tribute to the American photographer.
His compositions are so well balanced regardless of the size of the subject.
The choice of foliage is no accident either.
Micheels selected plants native to the photographer’s belovedYosemite.
For Micheels, the most challenging part of creating The Landscape Photographer was the station wagon.
I really wanted to get as many details right as I could.
With over 8,500 votes on LEGO Ideas, The Landscape Photographer is on track to hit 10,000 supporters.
For Micheels, the chance to see his design come to life would be a dream come true.
Nick Micheels designed a 1,100-piece LEGO tribute to Ansel Adams.
It comes complete with his signature large format camera and station wagon.
