25 Stunning Tilt-Shift Photography Examples

Posted on September 26, 2014 | Updated on October 31, 2023

Tilt-shift photography changes the focus of an image so the outcome often looks miniature instead of full size. This special lens gives photographers the ability to alter perspective and depth of field without moving the camera itself. Some tilt-shift photography examples are taken from aerial perspectives, while others use blurring effects to isolate subjects.

When photography was in its infancy, all cameras could take tilt-shift photos, but now it’s necessary to get a special tilt-shift lens that attaches to a digital SLR camera. This accessory can cost several thousand dollars. Thankfully, there are also settings and downloadable photo altering programs that can mimic the results of a tilt-shift lens.

It’s a good idea to make sure your shot doesn’t have too much going on, and that there’s no need to focus on tiny details like facial expressions. Those will get blurred anyway, and when you focus on outlines of subjects rather than specifics, it makes the subjects appear smaller.

There are many websites that offer useful tips for people who want to try this type of photography, and the tilt-shift photography examples below should offer brilliant inspiration:
