The Harvest, 1888
This photo collection is probably one of the coolest collections ever featured on Historiclols. Ever. Serena Malyon, an art school student, combined her knowledge of tilt-shift photography with the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh and the results are absolutely incredible. Check it out!
From Wikipedia:
“Tilt-shift photography” refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene.

Is this suppose to be funny? Cause its not. Or even all that interesting…
Yes it is, pull your head out of your ass
Maybe that’s why Downer can’t see the joke…
Downer is right about lack of humor.
It is just plain AWESOME.
Its awesome, youre just dumb.
Oh? What exactly is it that YOU find interesting, downer? I’m guessing the Twilight Saga, or maybe you prefer some nice high-pitched Justin Beiber?
Ouch
Obvious troll is obvious.
Agreed. This just blurs up the hard work of great artist and gives an a-hole with a camera a name. Some were okay. But the rest were mangled to bits.
Pretty neat! (But I prefer the originals.)
I think it’s interesting how this type of photography give the paintings a 3-D effect. No, it’s not funny but it is creative.
yeah
Not LOL, but way cool, IMHO.
It’s not even photography. It has been made with photoshop.
Let me guess, because of the pixels and you’ve seen photoshops before, right? *eyeroll*
It’s definitely photography. The effect is created by moving the camera 2 different directions during the exposure. It’s not made in post-processing.
The effect with moving the camera comes from shooting a three dimensional object. A painting is two dimensional object, so the photographic technique would not work as described with all the photos.
Some of them could have been done in camera – those that are blurry on top and bottom in bands and whose brush strokes are really revealed (Landscape at Auvers after the Rain). The ones where foreground and background elements in the same location are of different focus, are photoshopped (Painter on his way to work).
Teaches me for posting without researching. No camera movement involved: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt-shift_photography
That’s cool, but the effect is actually really easy to accomplish in photoshop.
Really? Inquiring minds want to know.

but it’s beautiful!!! awesome!
Love it! It’s original and interesting…more please!
Great job, Serena. That’s the way to use your imagination! Looking at the world through a Tilt/shift! Keep up the good work.
These are just beautiful – a whole new way to see the art.
It’s a new perspective on something I’ve seen over and over. Very cool!
amazing – what a different look these paintings take on this way.
It’s creative fun because someone is thinking outside of the box. Lighten up!
Very cool! What a creative perspective on 2-dimensional art.

Van Gogh in 3D.
This is amazing. You get the feeling your seeing what the artist was seeing when the painting was created.
Poor choice of artist. The flatness of Van Gogh’s paintings mean that every part of a scene clamours for attention at once, which to me is a large part of their appeal. “The Starry Night” in particular makes use of this effect — so why you would intentionally blur out that fantastic sky is beyond me.
Do this to a nice realist landscape painter, instead.
This person was not trying to enhance or diminish the meaning intended by this artwork. It was done for no other purpose than that it looks cool. Being the pompous ass that you are, you can not see that. People like you exist for nothing but the pure effort of removing your fat heads from your stick laden asses. Your criticism looks too far beyond the intentions of the person who modified these paintings.
To the secondary artist, I say Kudos.
This is incredible!
It’s not funny, but it’s really nice.
She should totes try Velázquez after this.
Some pointillist work would be interesting to see in this style.
That is pretty damn cool! It’s kinda funny how many people are hating it. They probably don’t even realize Vahn Gogh’s work was hated when he was alive
So now when this person dies, her work will be loved!
Photography teacher input: Tilt/shift is typically used to make real life look like a little tiny toy model. There are other artists I would love to see look miniature. Klee next anyone?
