Photographing Large Objects as Miniatures Using a Giant Coin

To achieve a miniature, tilt-shift effect on subjects, one typically relies on specialized lenses or post processing in Adobe Photoshop. A Norwegian design studio called Skrekkogle has done the opposite with its Big Money Project. Instead of "shrinking" a subject with special effects, they have created a giant 20:1 replica of a 50 cent Euro coin. They then placed the coin next to large objects and photographed them together, making the objects look like tiny toy replicas.
