Agency life is different everywhere, of course, but mostly it's the same. And few art projects capture the clichés and peculiarities of that existence quite like Derrick Lin's photographs.

Lin, a brand strategist at Resource/Ammirati in Columbus, Ohio, has been taking photos over the past year of miniature figurines in typical agency situations, from the mundane to the slightly less mundane. The results are amazing: funny, beautifully crafted, oddly poignant—and relatable to people in office jobs everywhere, not just in advertising.

Lin spoke to the Daily Mail earlier this year, and explained the project this way:

I have always been fascinated by all things miniature and by small details, so it occurred to me that the miniature figures, with the contrast of their size and their lively poses, could be a great medium to express our many emotions.
