Now that you're an adult, chances are you don't play with toys much anymore. But why not? Is it because you don't want to, or because society will judge you?

Photographer and digital artist Felix Hernandez, based in Cancun, Mexico, photographs small toys in large, fantastical scenes. By playing tricks with scale and digital retouching, he makes model planes, toy soldiers and Star Wars action figures the centerpieces of his work.

"Since I was a kid I used to spend hours alone in my room playing with my toys," Hernandez says. "Now that I'm a 'grownup' I realize that I never stopped playing and that the only difference is that now I have a camera on my hands."

His main goal is to bring to life the scenes he pictured in his head way back when.
