A good imagination is all you need, no need for Photoshop or a high end SLR camera.   You can make an object appear farther away, close up, larger or smaller than it actually is using creative placement  of the elements in the scene and proper camera angles.  This technique is used primarily in photography, film-making and architecture.

Forced perspective  manipulates visual perception by scaling an object where it harmonizes with other elements within the field of vision and results in a dramatic optical illusion.

Today lets take a look at some awesome examples of forced perspective photography for your inspiration.
