Lori Nix. Van Gogh's Paintings Get Tilt-Shifted (12 pics) After seeing how tilt-shift photography could make real world scenes appear like miniature models, Serena Malyon, a third-year art student, decided to simulate the effect on Van Gogh's famous paintings. Using Photoshop, she manipulated the light and adjusted the focus to make us see these paintings in ways we could have never imagined. Amazingly, nothing in these paintings was changed, added or removed. The incredible illusions are all created by the magic of Photoshop. Update: Recently, I was able to get in touch with Serena to ask her how she came up with this idea. Read that interview below. How did the idea come about to tilt-shift Van Gogh's paintings? The actual concept came from John Malyon (my father), the founder of Artcyclopedia. Were you surprised by the reaction it received?
Why did you choose Van Gogh's paintings to tilt-shift? Do you have plans to tilt-shift other paintings? Serena Malyon via [Artcyclopedia] 2010 October 5 - Horsehead and Orion Nebulas.
