Amazing Miniature Tilt-Shift Photography

These photographs of everyday real life have been manipulated with, mostly, a Tilt-Shift Lens which distorts the scene with a shallow depth-of-field into a miniature toy-like world. However some have been processed in software like Photoshop to replicate the effect and possibly avoid the expense of the pricey lens.

I encourage you to discover the photographer’s behind each photograph by simply clicking their work, and hopefully inspire you to explore this fascinating technique!

It’s a good technique to move the eye to the main area of interest in the
photograph
