forced perspective
Distance-distorting visual illusion
Forced perspective is a technique that manipulates visual perception by positioning objects at different distances from the viewer to create illusions of scale.
In photography, a tourist appears to hold up the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
In film and architecture, carefully sized props and angled construction make spaces seem larger or smaller than they are: The hobbits looked tiny thanks to forced perspective.
