These photos by photographer Ben Thomas use the popular tilt-shift technique or as some might call it, miniature faking. Here, we explore New York, with lots of great cityscape shots including landmarks such as Yankee stadium and The High Line.
You must check out his other collections. Thomas miniaturizes other big cities. Included along with NYC, are San Francisco and Las Vegas. and European cities, Paris, Berlin, London. There is the megalopolis of Tokyo and Thomas’ home of Melbourne.
These tilt-shift trend doesn’t ever seem to get old. Good stuff.
