The grandeur and spectacle of Las Vegas is subdued and miniaturized in this tricky photograph by Olivo Barbieri, who realized the dramatic aerial view by shooting from a helicopter. A master of the tilt-shift lens, Barbieri uses the tool to disorienting effect here: while the detail of the bottom portion of the photograph is blurred, the distant, mountainous backdrop is clear and focused so that the city is ultimately rendered in a toy-like manner.
