Last semester working with both miniatures in my first half of senior portfolio as well as my concepts class I came upon an artist, Olivo Barbieri, who although didn’t work with the same media as I, he does however photograph landscapes from an aerial perspective using a tilt shift method with his lens that causes his environments to look as if they were massive intricate scaled model cities. Therefore falsifying his audience to believe the real is in fact fake. The only shame is that one; I couldn’t find any statements from the artist himself, and two, I’ve also come to find that this method of using a tilt shift lens (which is quite expensive) has been done repeatedly, most with the cheaper ways of accomplishing the same looking images with lens babies and photoshop. It’s a shame to know that it has been somewhat overdone, but that seems to happen with everything these days.
These are a couple of his images:
Now here are a couple of images that have been done by other people using photoshop or a lensbaby instead of an expensive tilt shift lens:
