How do tilt shift lenses work to create the miniature effect in photography?

Tilt-shift lenses work by allowing the photographer to control the angle of the lens relative to the camera sensor. This manipulation of the lens creates a selective focus effect, where only a specific portion of the image is in sharp focus while the rest appears blurred. This technique mimics the shallow depth of field typically seen in macro Photography, giving the illusion that the scene is a miniature model.
