Achieving this look with movements or not?

[jamessrogers]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is in the right place but this is my first post.

I'm a huge fan of the work of Bryan Schutmaat (www.bryanschutmaat.com/) and really love the look he creates using his 4x5 camera.

I'm new to shooting large format so am still not fully aware of how to achieve a certain look and style.

I really like this photo, and was wondering if anybody could advise me on whether this look (wide but shallow) is achieved using any movements e.g. swing, tilt etc.

I notice the trees are in focus in this photo as well as him, is this just because they're on the same plain as the subject?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
