Miniature Landmark Photography

'Tilt Shift' Shrinks and Captures Well Known Places and Events

— May 8, 2013 — World
In an effort to shrink the world, Richard Silver has diabolically captured instantly recognizable landmarks with tilt-shift photography. Silver traveled the world as extensively as possible in order to shrink a wide collection of places and events.

Landmarks like Rome's Coliseum and the London Bridge were ruthlessly captured and tilt-shifted to add to Silver's collection. No continent was safe, as landmarks from Asia, Europe and the Americas among other places were systematically captured.

The tilt-shifting technique that Silver used extensively is created by using a selective focus. By tilting the photo, a picture's focus can be brought to a particular scene and thus miniaturizing it.

Silver's goal for this project was to show people "a new way of seeing themselves and their place in the world." By shrinking the world to a size usually reserved for ants, Silver has done just that.
Trend Themes
1. Tilt-shift Photography - The use of tilt-shift photography to create miniature versions of landmarks and events opens opportunities for unique and creative marketing campaigns showcasing products and services.
2. Global Travel and Photography - There is a growing trend in global travel and photography where individuals are consumed by wanderlust and looking for unique experiences and perspectives to capture. Companies can tap into this trend by providing travel-related services and products aligned with this lifestyle.
3. Perspective Shifting - Using techniques like tilt-shift photography to alter people's perspective on familiar landmarks and events can be applied to various fields, such as art, marketing, and education.
Industry Implications
1. Tourism - The tourism industry, including travel agencies, tour operators and hotels, can utilize tilt-shift photography to promote their destinations and services by offering perspectives that are uniquely different from the traditional postcard views of landmarks.
2. Photography - The photography industry, including camera manufacturers, software developers, and photo editing services, can create and market products catering to the trend for new and creative photographic perspectives.
3. Art and Design - Using tilt-shift photography to create unique and visually striking art and design pieces presents innovation opportunities for artists and designers, as well as investment possibilities for art collectors and galleries.
