Great photos using Tilt-Shift lenses for portraits

One look I have always loved that can give your portraits that unique edge is using a Tilt-Shift lens (or photoshop method) to create portraits with. There are so many cool things you can do with Tilt-Shift lenses, from creating miniature landscapes to really cool portraits. For portraits tilt shift lenses can really create a powerful image by focusing the viewers eye on a certain part of the shot and controlling depth of field in a unreal type of way. Check out these awesome tilt-shift portraits for a little Monday inspiration.
