Object Photography - Forced Perspective May 2020

Forced Perspective

We all know that the lens in the camera can take out depth and distance. It can make this appear closer together. Forced Perspective is a name for the technique where things that are closer or farther away are photographed to appear smaller or larger than they actually are.

Have a play, you will need to do some experiments. You may need to play with the aperture on your camera with a higher fstop (f11, f18 f21) to stop the camera lens pushing the object in the foreground out of focus. Changing the fstop or aperture will mean changing the ISO or shutter speed to balance the light level. Luckily its bright outside so you can this easily without ending up with blurry or dark shots






Kerry who did this one, uses photo-manipulation and layering and explains how she does that on a blog, but you could easily do this shot with an SLR and a long depth of field / high fstop. Careful because the girl up the ladder is actually tipping tea on the floor which is a/ waste of tea and b/messy
