The History of Toy Photography




The history of toy photography is just as long and winding as the history of the medium itself, dating all the way back to at least 1917 if not earlier. Today I’m going to talk about where toy photography lies within the genre, and the photographers that paved the path for what toy photography is today. Hope you enjoy!
