Forced Perspective




Your next assignment will be to create a digital image that uses the technique of Forced Perspective to create an illusion of scale, distance or some other optical trickery.



You may use the image processing tools in Photoshop to enhance your image, but the "trick" must come from your own photograph--not from a Photoshop composite. Look at the examples below and do your own web search for forced perspective photography. 


As you look at the various examples, try to determine how the photographer achieved the illusion and what was necessary to create the image. Start to think about what approach you would like to take with your own interpretation of a forced perspective photograph.
