The expansive sense of space in Charles' photography is actually an optical illusion, achieved by altering three key elements that our brain associates with small objects. The first element is the depth of field. In standard macro photography, only a tiny part of the subject is in focus, with the background being significantly blurred. However, Charles merges hundreds of photos to ensure everything remains clear, from the wood grain at the front to the distant neck-block at the back. The second element is the use of wide-angle lenses. While uncommon in macro photography, these lenses produce strong leading lines and exaggerated perspectives similar to those seen in architectural photography. The final element is lighting. Charles positions the lights to mimic the sun's placement, enhancing the illusion and making the viewer feel as though they are walking through a tangible space.
