Assignment 8 Forced Perspective

The easiest way to explain forced perspective in photography is to show examples.  Check out this link for some examples.  http://www.instantshift.com/2010/08/24/88-brilliant-examples-of-forced-perspective-photography/ or this link for some tips http://www.thephotoargus.com/tips/5-tips-for-creating-excellent-forced-perspective-photographs/  Try an internet search for “forced perspective”
Think about how you would like to set up a shot.  Think about the effect you are trying to achieve.  Angle, distance, depth of field, and focus can make a big difference. Feel free to work in groups of 2-4 people.

For this assignment you will post 2 forced perspective shots of the same subject, but showing 2 opposite perspectives.  For example, you could take a picture of your brother where he appears larger than a vehicle and the second picture he appears smaller than the tire on the vehicle.  Perhaps in one shot the subject appears frail and weak while in the next shot the subject appears to be big and strong.  Think carefully about how you want to present your subject and be creative.  Consider using Photoshop tutorials to help reach your desired effect.
