I love this photographer. He’s from Finland. His photographs look like miniatures but they’re not. He uses wierd lenses and focus. This is called “Swimming Lessons.”

There’s a big variety of special effect lenses. I like this pic because it looks like it’s from another swimmer’s viewpoint as they’re wiping the water out of their eyes.
The professor I had for my photo class last semester is a pretty awesome photographer who does almost exactly opposite of what your favorite photographer does. He takes tiny objects and photographs them with telephoto lense, making them look much larger in the photo then they really are. I have one of his photos on my wall, and it’s of a hippo standing in peanut butter. As vicious as it looks in the photo, the hippo itself is no larger than an inch. Check him out, if you can find anything on him. His name is Kevin Van Aelst. And I! am.. his favoritest student ever and proud of it.
There’s an artist (whose name escapes me) who does similar photographs – close, surreal, lifelike – but uses fruits and vegetables.
I think Eliot is referring to these guys, Akiko Ida and Pierre Javelle
its not done using any kind of special effect lens…its done by using the movements on a large format camera…
check out olivio barbieri as well if you like these differential focus effects
