Re: Cheap trick...

if you had a detailed background you could easily tell.

Also, your "model" doesn't have any depth features (e.g. prominent nose) like a human model would.

You're right about the background. The original purpose of this shot was to see that a wide angle lens alone doesn't distort the subject... being too close does.

The "model" is actually pretty fat. The ears are maybe 5 or 6 inches farther back than the front.

And I don't think I'd call any trick involving the Oly 12mm prime "cheap".
