Photo Challenge & Contest: Fun with Forced Perspective!

Due: Monday 11/23/20

What is forced perspective?  How is it achieved?

Forced perspective is a technique which employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.

It requires strategic placement and great depth of field.

Arts District: Forced Perspective Photography  Ken Hendricks and Larry Patchett have been friends for over 17 years. They share a passion for photography, old cars and time travel. A few years ago, they ventured into forced perspective photography. Larry writes the stories, Ken snaps the pictures. They create time travel magic. The images on their Flickr page have garnered appreciation from all over the world.
