Tilt–shift photography is the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. As a result, every photo taken makes people, objects and indeed the whole world - look like they are made of toys and miniatures, when in fact these are real scenes of life. This creates unique, and sometimes beautiful, photography, that gives you a whole new perspective.
Here is a collection of tilt-shift photos I found especially delightful. |
