- Examples of Forced Perspective Photography.
There is a technique used in photography that removes a certain allowance of perspective from the person looking at the image. This is forced perspective photography. In the image, you can use certain spans of distance to distort the actual size of certain objects or people in the image by removing things that allow for a point of reference. Here are 9 forced perspective photography examples.
In this forced perspective illusion, one girl sits further forward, while another appears to be dancing on her hand.
In this photography, it looks like a woman is holding a tree, when really she is over 100 feet away.
Even though it looks like this man is holding he up by one hand, she is perfectly fine since the image utilized the forced perspective of the camera operator.
Something this simple can be done with the right eye and a little patience. A man is holding one of the replica souvenir cars at a car sculpture to create a forced perspective illusion.
While at first glance this might seem like a normal picture, further investigation shows something is not right. A changed angle makes this man look like he’s standing horizontally in this forced perspective illusion.
Here, it look like a man is drinking an entire waterfall.
With the right amount of spacing, anyone can create these types of forced perspective illusions.
While it may look like someone it standing on another persons foot, forced perspective photography has done it again.
Forced perspective photography has been around for a relatively long time. Here, you can see an older shot of a man standing taller than the Eiffel Tower.
Size is everything – or nothing: Salar de Uyuni

Bolivia’s Salar De Uyuni is a particularly conducive environment for photographers keen to test out their perspective-bending skills. The vast, expansive landscapes of the world’s largest salt plains have few features to shatter the illusion of big objects appearing small or small objects big.

Taken in the Angus area of Scotland, this photo shows that with an isolated tree, a bit of imagination, and no little skill, you can pull the wool over the eyes of human perception. It's all about the way scaled objects are made to relate to one another and the viewer's vantage point.
Gobbling a hot dog: Kennedy Space Center

This next pic could be construed as being be a little on the lewd side, but that's up to you. The Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral, Florida is the launch pad for the visual gag. It's a good job Space Shuttle Discovery's STS-121 Mission to the International Space Station wasn't launched when the photo was taken.

What is it about Kennedy Space Centre and high jinks with forced perspective? The flat background broken only by the instruments of space launches obviously inspires some people. This photo of a guy doing a good impersonation of a cheerleader even made it onto Japanese TV. Who'd have thought it?
We are not amused: Peggy's Cove

Nova Scotia's Peggy's Cove provides the setting for this next addition to our list. This small rural community is nevertheless a busy tourist attraction, and its classic red-and-white lighthouse is major focal point for visitors carrying cameras. Believe it or not, it's almost 15 metres (50 ft) high.
Think big, be big: The Eiffel Tower

This touching shot makes aiming for the top not such a fanciful dream after all. The most famous landmark on the Parisian landscape is the perfect prop to make this little girl seem like a giant standing some 324 m (1,063 ft) tall. The low camera angle and large depth of field do the rest of the work.
Just hangin' around: Perito Moreno

This shot was taken at the Perito Moreno glacier in the Argentine region of Patagonia. The 250 km2 (97 sq mi) ice formation is an important tourist attraction, and the sheets of frozen fresh water clearly offer ample opportunity for a little playfulness with visual perspective.
Blowing off some steam: Old Faithful

This is one instance where you might safely accuse the subject of the photo of being full of hot air – except of course that it's Old Faithful, Yellowstone's most famous geyser, producing the steam for this gigantic breath. The creative snapping of nature's geothermal force delivers a cool result.

Fashion has always been a bit strange and unusual. Artists and fashion creators were always trying to find the strangest and most original expression and new ways to shock the public. Have a look at this great collection of the weirdest fashion creations. Some of them are not so successful. For example this handbag with an implemented gun in it. I wouldn’t wear it on my first date!
Interesting vicodine earrings, if you feel any pain you can simply strip them down of your ears and swallow them! This way you’ll be both fashionable and calmed.
If you love being tanned and like having always new fashion creations, you can try out this special designed dress for getting tanned in chic and fashionable way.
I’m not sure what is the effect that the creator of these earrings was going for, but as far as I’m concerned it might as well be a campaign against smocking or cancer lungs awareness.
In case you’re wondering what this is, it is a shoe. I’m not sure how the one should wear it nor in what occasion.
A zipper earrings-so ’90s!
Bra made out of pig heads, weird-yes, sexy-no! With this raging pig flu it seems like a statement.

Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered around role play. A broader use of the term cosplay applies it to any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the cultural context.

Very Risky Jump
The second capital city of Russia, Saint-Petersburg, can boast of beauty of its architecture. But its off-beat design is not the only thing the city can show. Also it has a great diversity of different subcultures with lots of followers. And recently two guys from one of city’s traceur movements decided to take their chances and make the use of their city’s architecture.
It was really a crazy thing, a jump from one building to another. The point is that the buildings were the same height. A leap from nine story building to a five story one without any breakfall. The distance between two roofs was 11 high (~35 feet) and just 7 meters (~22 feet) long, though it’s kinda spooky to talk like that about 20 feet length of a space.
Just try to imagine how does it feel to stand at the edge of a roof staring first at the other roof and then again at the ground, in and out, in and out. After all you are eventually fixing it up, getting a few steps off… Getting run and the same thought rattling in your head all the time – the main thing is not to catch the roof edge up. And the second later you are flying already and comfy mats waiting for you at the other roof along with your friends. Well, nothing venture, nothing have.
As you can see by photos, the second jump was also a success. They say that the two guys were inspired by the similar roof-to-roof jump of traceur sport founder in Paris.
People can fly, approved.
