    Those photos are mad. It's like they're all shots of model landscapes. Very strange indeed. I still like them though. How does he achieve those effects?

    Not sure (I can't read japanese!) ... although one thing they all appear to share is that both foreground and background have been deliberately blurred so that the DOF appears to be very shallow, maybe that contributes to the "illusion". Maybe a bit of sharpening and extra saturation to make the subjects a little more "artificial" looking as well.

    He is probablt using a "tilt & shift" lens like Sam did here.

    Have a look at the days before this shot for more details.

    It is also possible to get this effect in PS. Tutorial here: http://recedinghairline.co.uk/tutorials/fakemodel/

    Valentia is spot on ... he is using a tilt shift lens ... this enables him to move the plane of the film relative to the subject ... this is normally used to correct problems with distortion due to perspective by keeping the film parallel to the subject's front face but shifting the lens view point (e.g. to correct converging lines when photographing a building from the bottom).

    Bitter girls have found another use for it ...

    here is another photograsphers view -

    and here is an article on the technique (see seciton called Dept of field) -

    Now ... who is up for clubbing together some time and renting a TS lens from Conns for a weekend ?
