Keith Loutit is a photographer and filmmaker from Sydney. He is said to be the pioneer of the tilt-shift / time-lapse technique. He makes mini worlds using tiny model figurines that force the viewer to take a second look at their surroundings while “challenging people’s perceptions of scale, and helping the viewer to distance themselves from places they know well.” His attention to atmospheric perspective helps give us a sense of space while his rigorous detail put into each element of the scene (the tides moving in the water, movement of crowds, flags blowing in the wind) create the illusion of a real-life video recording. Check out his website and his facebook page for more information and more of his work – it’s definitely worth it.
