Jan von Holleben Photos
This photo by Jan von Holleben, titled Action Heros features two children supposedly swinging on a vine. The perception of the photos makes it seem as if the two children are actually swinging on a vine in the middle of the jungle. In reality, they are simply lying on the ground, positioned in way that makes them seem as if they are in the air. The boat is the background in in the same depth as the kids are, but the boat is in a smaller size, thus making it seem farther away in distance. The "ocean"is simply a blue sheet placed behind the boat. The leaves and trees are made to look in front of the kids. This effect is produced by the 3D leaves, that are not flat against the ground, but pushed up a bit.
This is a photo from von Holleben's Dreams of Flying gallery. Taken again in bird's eye view, the photo supposes that the child is diving down to reach a treasure chest of some sort. The "ocean" is a blue tarp placed on the ground. The kid is lying on top facing down, reaching towards the treasure, which is also on the tarp. Rocks and "sea plants" are positioned at the bottom of the frame, providing an ocean floor. The round plants to the left are simply placed up-right in the tarp. The fish are probably paper or cardboard cut out in different shapes.
This photo, titled How to Disappear features two guys having what seems to be a heated shootout. The guys on the right in seen jumping back while repeatedly shooting at his opponent. The opponent on the left is chasing after him, gun in hand. Again, taken from a bird's eye view, the two men are skillfully positioned on concrete, the concrete acting as a plain grey background. This assures that the viewer's attention is focused, rather than having a busy, crowded background that distracts from the picture.
