Not Photoshopped: Just Incredible Forced Perspective Photography



Forced perspective is a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It is used primarily in photography, filmmaking and architecture. 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.
Thanks to Environmental Graffiti, these are some excellent examples, more can be found here.
