Trick Photography
Trick photography is a great way to dazzle and amaze your friends and family. You can of course use photoshop to edit and manipulate your images, but you can also set them up to be tricky in the first place.
Here are some ways you can create trick photography:
1. Perspective
Perspective is the distance between the camera and the items. You can distort this to make trick photographs. Make an object seem unusually huge by placing it closer to the camera. It will appear huge compared to the other items in the environment.
2. Angles
Tilting the camera can trick your audience. Imagine that you have your subject lay down on the ground sideways and pretend to climb the side of the wall...if you turn the photo after you have shot the picture, it appears that your subject is scaling the wall. What else can you do?
3. Forced Perspective
Forced perspective is a photography technique that uses optical illusion to make an object look further away, closer up, larger, or smaller than it actually is. This is the same technique that is used in films to make small models of objects look like the real thing.
Search "forced perspective photography examples" on Google images to see what we are talking about. One object will appear closer/bigger than another, making it seem unusual.
