Forced Perspective
Photo homework - Must be exaggerated perspective - ie foreshortening.
--Get close, change your angles, get high or super low!
--make sure you have good VARIETY!
**16 required photos due 4/6**
**BONUS - forced perspective
Forced perspective is a technique that manipulates human perception through optical illusions, making objects appear larger, smaller, closer, or farther away than they actually are. It works by aligning, placing, and sizing subjects at different distances from the camera or viewer, often exploiting the camera's lack of depth perception to create a scene that looks natural but is actually a trick of scale
