Having Fun With Forced Perspective

For this assignment we had to create an illusion with the toys. I tried to make the toys look like they are the same size or bigger than the girl creating the illusion that the toys are life size. We also had to be able to act it out to make the pictures more believable.

We had to be able to have both subjects in focus by manually focusing to the center. We had to play around with the settings depending on the lighting outside and other aspects. For these pictures I utilized the camera settings of ISO 1600, shutter speed of 22, an aperture of 1/250-1/400, and a focal length between 18-40 (depending on the picture).

Then, once we were done shooting we got to editing. When editing I tried to make the images look better by making some slight changes. Some changes were removing distracting words, poles, as well as fixing the lighting etc.

Overall, I had fun experimenting and shooting these forced perspective images.
