(There's probably even a bit of Sheimflug going on too...) Though to be fair, it's the quality of the models that really makes these work, more than the orientation of the lens plane in relation to the film back. (And this coming from a guy who really likes shallow depth of field.) Indeed, both tilty and shifty! (There’s probably even a bit of Sheimflug going on too…)

HOW Magazine did a nice interview/profile of Chris Sickels some time back. Amazing work with Sculpy. http://www.howdesign.com/article/chrissickels/ I was happy to see the Red Nose Illustration on this story.

That's like describing the giant antique machines in the Smithsonian's Centennial 1876 exhibition are "steam-punkish". And yes, Red Nose's models are -extremely- cool. Whenever they turn up in IT magazines I always love them way more than the articles they're illustrating!

as far as ‘Scheimpflug’.. most all my work is shot on 4×5. tilt and shift are an integral part of taking the ‘scale out of my work. and besides when something miniature is a little out of focus is tends to be more believable…
