Photographer sends tiny versions of himself to prospective clients

The Verge: Passing around business cards, cards, resumes, and elaborate social media stunts to find your next gig? You're being outdone by a Malmö, Sweden-based photographer, Jens Lennartsson, who created an army of miniature copies of himself to send to magazines and other firms that he thought might be able to find use for his skills.

This is by far the craziest thing that I think I have seen as a publicity stunt by a photographer wanted people to use his service, not to just show off his work. I bet this wasn't cheap as the article says, and it seems like he had a pretty decent sized staff to help. I wonder how the larger picture of his staff and these figures will play out, and if he will get the cost back. I would love to see a post production video on how he thinks it actually works, or how people feel about receive the figure. And of course it might not be able all the individual companies, and he is now in an article online that is circulating. Much bigger than individual companies possibly.
