Impressive setups. My favorite is the Volcano. But sadly, the burning room suffers from the very thing I talk about on my site. It is near impossible to miniaturize effectively fire and water, and more recently, wood. The rule of SFX I'm afraid.
That was my thought, too. I love miniatures pictures, but I don't usually like them to have fire in them (water can be done, with some effort). I've just never seen one that didn't look like 'big fire on a little set' sort of thing. The rest of his work is quite impressive, though.
I agree to an extent. I think it requires chemicals thought to really get the realistic flair of the fire. I think of JFAK's
Venomous Maximus shot. This one, I don't know it just doesn't look right. Not just the size but where the fire is. It looks placed. "A little here, a little there." It doesn't look alive.
I'm really impressed with some of the items he used. Like a glass outdoor table for water or steel wood for clouds or paprika for Mars.
