Forced perspective is a photography technique that consists of create optical illusions making an object appear larger, smaller or further away than it actually is.
In short, it is a very original way to manipulate and what would be to create an effect with a great result that we can see very well in the artistic work in the sand of the artist Jamie Harkings. An artist who has found in an environment such as a paradisiacal beach, enough sand to model those figures that fit perfectly in what could also be called 3D by using perspective like those illustrations we see on the street from time to time.
The curious thing about this artist is that he uses sand and a beach to form those different projections that try to "deceive" to our mind and visual perception to make us believe something that is there but is not.
This way of forcing perspective, as I said, we can find her in certain streets where the pavement is used to achieve that 3D that produces the necessary effect so that, from a price angle, anyone can recreate themselves with a different way of showing art from an urban floor that is usually used for walking.
Jamie Harkins has his own Facebook page from which you can find more of his works apart from the ones we share here. Some figures in the sand that stand out for using this medium rather than for the quality it has, although the perspective used offers some genius in some. The difference between pavement and sand as different media is where we can see how difficult it can be to use sand for molding, although here it is more in know how to use space so that from a point look like a boat like a hole that opens in the middle of the beach.
