One of the most powerful things about creating images is the magic of bending reality with a camera. In the middle of a city of steel, a single flower can be framed to create the illusion of nature. No one even knows the surrounding scenery exists. Forced Perspective photography is intriguing: it manipulates human perception with things like size, positioning and scale. Click through the tabs above for some great examples of forced perspective photography.

No fancy equipment needed… just creativity and imagination. With a dash of out-of-the-box thinking it’s possible to create a unique image. An image that first that bewilders and then delights the viewer. Change it up. Surprise yourself.

    This is really clever in deed. This is by using composite picture technique in photoshop?

    Hi, lots of people complaining about the gallery, I would suggest Slide Show Pro http://slideshowpro.net/
    Once installed very easy to use, even has a Lightroom plugin.
    I use it on my blog http://stockphoto.com.au/blog/ and a number of my websites.

    To all complaining – get over it. We’ve been complaining about the usability of this blog since it was “updated” months (if not a year now?) ago… Just pretend that its 1998 and enjoy the change of pace. Awwhhhh clicking through individual photo “pages” – how nostalgic.

    Hi. Your gallery experience sucks. I had to look at each picture for 2 seconds and click next after each. Can life get any worse?

    Like the previous commentators have said, the gallery is a pretty poor experience. Personally, I’d prefer it if you ditched the gallery approach altogether, kept it simple and just had all the images on the page so I could enjoy them all in one hit.

The show's logo is displayed on the left side, with "THE CHASE JARVIS LIVE" in bold black text inside yellow rectangles, stacked vertically. The right side of the image features a robotic figure, resembling a humanoid robot, meticulously working on a canvas. The robot is painting or drawing a grayscale portrait of a human-like figure. The robot's detailed mechanical components are visible, and the scene evokes themes of artificial intelligence, creativity, and technology. The background is minimal, allowing focus on the robot and its artwork. The composition suggests an exploration of AI's role in creative processes.Is AI the End of Creativity or Just the Beginning?
