What tools and gear does Scott Kivowitz recommend for enhancing perspective in photographs?

Hi, I’m Scott Kivowitz from . How can I help?

For enhancing or creatively manipulating perspective, a few tools and approaches come up again and again in my work and challenges:

• Lensball or similar glass orbs – Used in my forced perspective challenge to completely alter how a scene looks by putting the world inside the ball.
• Tilt‑shift / perspective‑control lenses – I love walking around with just a tilt‑shift lens, even when tilting/shifting is not “needed,” because it lets you bend depth of field and perspective in fun ways.
• Wide‑angle primes – Lenses like a 24–25mm prime give a very wide view and lots of “room to play,” especially when combined with distortion or lens corrections in post.
• Post‑processing tools – Lightroom’s lens correction and plugins like Perfect Effects and Focal Point help push or correct perspective after capture.

Would you like suggestions for specific brands/models based on the camera you use?
