I picked this photograph taken by Nicolás Pattagon to demonstrate toy photography because I think he was able to execute the tiny-shift technique very well. In order to create this effect one should add a tilt shift lens to their camera. This is helpful because it really accentuates the technique by allowing for for a shallow depth of field. When shooting, it is important to come from a high angle. This makes the subjects in the photo look smaller/miniature. It also allows viewers to feel like they are looking down at a miniature scene.
