Hi everyone!

My mind's stuck on this beautiful and well-known photograph by M. Quinn Jacobson:

Can someone explain me how to achieve such a short dof?

I saw a few videos where this plate is hanging on the wall. It doesn't seem to be a huge monster plate...

Is it the lens opening/distance factor only or is there any kind of tilt movement? Something like tilted down plus on one side? What's the lens used on this serie?

Thank you very much for your help!
