Detailed Description
Tilt-shift photography is a type of photography in which the camera is tilted to produce a selective focus effect, resulting in photos that look like miniature scenes. This technique is often used to make cityscapes and landscapes appear as if they are models. Tilt-shift photography was first used in the early 19th century for architectural photography, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that it became popular for use in advertising and product photography. In recent years, the effect has become popular in fine art photography and video. Some of the most famous tilt-shift photographers include: Eugene Atget, who used the technique to capture the streets of Paris Andre Kertesz, who used it to create his famous “New York City” photograph Irving Penn, who used it for his fashion photography Annie Leibovitz, who used it for her celebrity portraits There are many famous paintings that have been created using the tilt-shift effect, including: “The Hay Wagon” by American painter Andrew Wyeth “Nighthawks” by American painter Edward Hopper “The Bathers” by French painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir “The City” by Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky
