Toy Cars Turned To Real Cars With Forced Perspective Photography

Forced perspective is a technique wherein the object appears different as to what it really looks like. It uses the correlation of the scaled object and the view point of the camera to successfully achieve its optical illusion result. To see some of its amazing effects, we have featured a couple of forced perspective photography and its before and after images for you to see.

Michael Paul Smith has been building his scale models for 25 years. He has achieved great results in combining real trees, buildings and landscapes as background on his toy cars in his photographs. Smith’s works are really mind blowing as it impressively portrays as if the small-sized toy cars are real vintage cars. Scroll down and see his creations. Come, take a peek, and enjoy.
