Thank you so much for this! The MUSE Photography Awards mean a lot to me. It increases my self-confidence in my journey in Creative Photography.

My project, the Preiser Miniature Toy Figures, showcases a series of miniature toy figurines, each with unique storytelling and settings in every photo. Captured in various studio setups, this series aims to promote the Preiser brand of miniature toy figures. I believe this project is a perfect fit for the MUSE Photography Awards.
