Taking
a forced perspective photo is not difficult and doesn’t require any
special skills. All you need to have is creativity, a camera, a willing
accomplice, the perfect setting and timing, the
patience to choreograph your trick and mostly, imagination. As you can
see in the following examples, you can try forced-perspective
photography while travelling, at your backyard or at home. In some
cases, it’s just being in the right place in the right time.
