A cinema fanatic who has made more than 1,600 miniature film-set snapshots using household items and figurines has thanked social media users for “spurring on” a passion he hopes will become “an art form”.

Steve Berry, from Sheffield, has been making his pop culture miniatures since 2020 entirely without the use of CGI or green screen backgrounds – sourcing materials such as tin foil or rocks from his garden and using his skills as a graphic designer to craft tiny, millimetre-long props.
