Dark mirror: Simon, 40, from Birmingham, said: 'Using the reflection of the sunglasses permitted me to explore the spatial and environmental surroundings in a distorted and warped miniature fashion'
To create the lifelike compositions, he takes pictures of the locations and a model wearing sunglasses, before he gets to work on a canvas with an airbrush and acrylic paint.
His pieces range in size from 11 by 8 inches to 5ft by 6.5 ft and can take from two weeks to seven months to complete.
They range in price from £3,000 to £22,000.
Simon, 40, from Birmingham, said: 'In 2008 I made a painting where a model was wearing sunglasses.
'I realised then that using the reflection of the sunglasses permitted me to explore the spatial and environmental surroundings in a distorted and warped miniature fashion.
'All my paintings are based and sourced using the camera, which I use the only to assist me with gathering information.
