They say timing is everything, but some photographsbecome
brilliant or hilarious because both the timing and the angle work
out just right. Sometimes this means catching people or objects
lined up perfectly at the ideal moment. Other times these are
staged for maximum effect. Here are 20 examples of photos
taken at the exact right angle.
Illusions of Distance: These can be anything from poetic to
comedic or even crass, as the above images demonstrate.
Almost always such shots are staged, but sometimes in
public you might catch just the right elements in alignment
to create an accidental masterpiece of art or humor.
Impossible People and Animals: these can be silly or sublime,
depending upon the subject, but almost inevitably result in
a confused double-take. We all know what people can and
can't do, how they are built, what the limits of the human
body are, yet some images challenge the brain and
create illusions.
The Art of Juxtaposition: a set of objects, people and/or
animals behaving normally independently can take on a
new life entirely when properly juxtaposed in a picture.
What might seem like very ordinary behavior, from grabbing
a magazine to stretching for a job, can take on a new
and strange meaning when captured on
film from just the right angle.
