How to Make a Forced Perspective Shot
Forced perspective is a photographic technique that forces the eye to perceive an object as larger smaller than it is. This optical illusion is accomplished by framing smaller objects in the foreground of a photo in a way that makes those objects appear to be interacting with larger elements in the background. A classic example of this technique is when tourists in Pisa, Italy have photos aken of themselves in which they appear to be holding up the Leaning Tower.
Instructions
- 1
Find a large object such as a vehicle or building. Determine a way to compose the photo so a person or object in the foreground could be used to make the larger object appear smaller. Alternately, the photo could make the smaller object seem larger.
2
Look through the viewfinder of the camera, and compose the frame so the subject appears to be interacting with the large background object. The subject could appear to be lifting, pushing, holding or eating the object. There are many possibilities, but the key is to trick the eye into thinking the objects are the same distance from the camera.
3
Press the shutter button on the camera to capture the image. If you are using a digital camera, check the image on the screen to see if the forced perspective illusion worked as intended. If not, compose the shot again, and take another photo.
