Tilt-Shift Photography: Little Lands

written by Houke de Kwant on September 1, 2011

In this photography post I have a selection with tilt-shift manipulated photography, featuring Hastings Old Town, England, made by Jack Ambridge. Jack is a young photographer based in South East England. His work encompasses land, sea, city, sky and things in between. Tilt-Shift photos are photos I can keep looking at. It’s awesome to see how a real landscape changes into a little playground…

“Tilt-shift photography” refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital postprocessing; the name may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.
