Forced Perspective PhotosStep 1: Intro & BrainstormNope, it's not Photoshop'd! This is a photography technique called Forced Perspective. For the example to the left, the "little people" are actually the same size as the "giant" person trying to squash them. The two people are far away from the camera and the foot is very close to the camera. This makes the foot look much larger than it actually is. Sweet!
Now it's your turn to give this a try. Think about how this could be used in either one of our stories, or as a photo of a group of students for a collage or spirit week. Just make sure to give yourself plenty of time to do this. It often takes several shots and little adjustments to get it right. Even when you think you've got it, take 2 more, just to be sure. |
Step 2: Brainstorm!Photographers, time to put your heads together and think of the different kinds of effects you can create. What's your subject? What's happening? Remember that your photos should tell a story. What's the story? It's time to be creative!

Step 3: Take PhotosStart taking photos. Come check in with me often. What's working and what's not? Do you need help? Is your idea working the way you had hoped?
Get 3 great photos that show Forced Perspective (that means you'll be taking a lot more!) |
Step 4: Reflect & ShareOnce you have your photos, go through and decide which are your best 3. Upload them to Google Classroom so that we can all look at them. Present your photos to the photographers. Tell us about how you chose your subject, the story, and your composition. Which ones were the most fun to make and which gave you the most problems? How did you overcome this?
