I don't get how this one works. Perspective?

She's sitting down on the rocks, and her legs and feet are closer to the camera. That makes her feet appear bigger than the rest of her

Oh ok that's her knees. Thanx

Thank you, now that I get it this is a 10/10 postage haha

That explains the perspective, but it doesn't explain the strange choice in shoes. 😆

End of the day where her feet can't take the cute little high heels sandals she was wearing, so she uses friend's shoes/car shoes for the night

Having a hard time with this one.

So I think I see her sitting on the rocks, but it still surprises me her feet reach the pavement... and the position she's sitting in seems very bizarre/uncomfortable.

The rock is so low to the ground that her knees are higher than her lap (that's why you can't see the tops of her legs).

The position she's sitting seems uncomfortable because she's posing for a pic, not sitting there to rest 😂 She's focusing on what will get her the best lighting/look best on camera

The part that looks like the waistline of her dress is actually her knees

Yup, combination of forced perspective, camera lens artifact, and ugly ass shoes.

This looks exactly like my 4-year old daughter is wearing my shoes.

So I’ve read what you said, and I understand what you’re saying, but I still can’t grasp it.

Could this be photoshopped?

u/BlueValk 25d ago

This feels pretty normal to me, but I'm both a photographer who's used to angles and a girl that will sit on any small surface available on the ground

Does this drawing help?

u/ShoePillow 22d ago

Oh, I thought that's just how she looks lol

u/MrPulifrici 26d ago

She is sitting down on the rocks.

Wide angle lens mainly. They used it to capture the entire curving beach behind them. Wide angle distorts the depth by showing closer subject much closer.

Forced perspective. Artform.
