Tilt-Shift Brings Van Gogh Back To Life

You probably know about tilt-shift effect that is highly popular among some photographers. It uses a special lens that gives a real-world scene the illusion of being a miniature model. You can reach quite the same effect in Photoshop by adjusting color, contrast and depth of focus of your pictures. Serena Malyon, a student of an art school, decided to try tilt-shifting using paintings to see what would happen. And she got these rather interesting manipulations of some works by Van Gogh.
