Forced perspective photography deliberately tricks the viewer to believe that some subjects/objects are bigger or smaller than they really are. Essentially, forced perspective photography is a game of illusions that distorts objects/subjects by making them appear closer or further away in the background than they truly are.
While this may sound complicated, it is actually quite simple. Look at these examples below.
This hand appears larger than life; but in actuality it would be nowhere near the size of the person it is pretending to grab.
In this image here it appears the individual is grabbing the sun. While the sun is obviously nowhere near the person, the photographer has created the illusion that he is in fact touching the sun.
The key aspect of forced perspective photography is distance. Distance between the subject(s) and object(s) is pivotal as it is important not to show blur, but still make the image look as authentic as possible despite its illusion. Tip: The object you want to appear bigger should be closer to the camera, while the part of the image you want to look smaller should be further away.
