5 Common Techniques in Forced Photography
- 1- Foreground and background arrangement
- 2- Tilting your camera to change the picture plane orientation
- 3- Size and proportion change
- 4- Drawing a portion of the scene on paper
- 5- Playing with the light and shadows
Types of Perspective in Photography
Bird's Eye Perspective:
I chose this photo because it is shot from above, like what a bird would see if it was flying. You can only see the tops of people's heads, and not much detail.
Dwindling Size Perspective:
This photo shows crayons in a line, and they are getting smaller as the line goes down. This shows that the objects are "dwindling", thus showing the effect.

False Perspective:
You have to look closely, but this is false perspective because the girl is bigger than the shelfs on both sides, and the ceiling is extremely low to her head. It is showing the view a perspective that is non existent.
Forced Perspective:
This photo caught my eye, and it is very unique. This photo is an example of forced perspective because it fools your eye, and instead of the people being laid the right way in the pool, the photographer decided to flip the photo around to make it look like they were sitting up straight, rather than actually laying down.
Height Perspective;
This photo shows a perspective involving height. It truly makes you feel small underneath the building, and it exaggerates the height of it as well for a better effect.
Linear Perspective:
I chose this photo because it shows a linear outlook. The railroad tracks take your eyes back, and they're perpendicular to the rest of the landscape.
Overlap Perspective:
This photo shows overlap perspective because the cocoon overlaps the trees and branches in the background. Also, the branches of the tree overlap themselves as well.
Rectilinear Perspective:
I decided to pick this photo for rectilinear perspective because this is a perspective that one would see if you were looking at it with a normal human eye.
Vanishing Point Perspective:
This photo is a cityscape and is a great example of vanishing points. There is buildings on both sides and a road that brings your eye to one point in the photo.
Volume Perspective:
This photo exaggerates the tree's leafs in the shadow underneath. The tree is voluminous to begin with, but the shadow adds more usage of space to this photo
Worm's Eye Perspective:
This photo is taken from the ground level, making it seem an insect or a worm might be looking at the tulips.
Atmospheric Perspective:
I chose this photo because it has a lot of space, and air. Above the water and land, there is just sky.
