One really unique photography style that I’ve run into in the past is tilt-shift photography. Basically this involves tilting the lens of the camera so that focus is applied on a certain area of the view frame. When applied to a large scene you get a panoramic effect equivalent to that of an aerial shots or miniature models.

As a kid I really enjoyed looking at my dad’s Madurodam catalog and I have always been amazed by the level of detail provided on such small scales.

Here’s a a good, short article on it as well as an NY Times featurette.
