At first thought, the term "fake model" sounds like an oxymoron. Well, in fact it is. You see, an oxymoron is something that is seemingly self-contradictory. Ok, you're not here for an English lesson. But, a quick history on tilt-shift lenses.
The function of a tilt-shift lens is to allow you to have a wide depth of field all the way to maximum aperture. This is achieved by literally tilting and shifting the angle of your focal plane. However, just as with standard lenses, people get creative. One way to do this is by creating these interesting fake model shots. These types of shots are very engaging because usually an artist models reality through interpretation, but in this case, reality is directly replicated in a photograph, and is reminiscent of a model. In the image above, the trees really do look 1 inch tall, when in reality this is a real place.
