1. Ground level

Getting down on the ground at the same level as your subject 

 

1. High angle 

The subject is shot from above with

the camera angled down (not as

extreme as birds eye which it shot

directly on top of).

Also know as an

aerial view.

1.  

2. Canton/ Slanted/ Dutch tilt 

This is where the camera is

purposefully tilted to one side,

so the horizon is on an angle.

1. Shallow depth of field 

Using shallow depth of field not only makes the toys stand out in a

photo, but it also blurs out the

background so it doesn't distract

the viewer,

ON A PHONE: use the PORTRAIT

mode to fake a shallow depth of field.

ON A LARGE DSLR CAMERA: put

your setting on A/AV and choose a

lower f stop like 3.5

1. Forced perspective

 

You can make a toy

look huge by putting it

very close to the

camera. This is useful if

you want to use it with

normal sized people

and large objects.
