Using a chiral unitary approach for meson-baryon scattering in the strangeness zero sector, where the N*(1535) and {delta}*(1700) resonances are dynamically generated, we study the reactions {gamma}p {yields} {pi}0{eta}p and {gamma}p {yields} {pi}0K0{sigma}+ at photon energies at which the final states are produced close to threshold. Among several reaction mechanisms, we find the most important is the excitation of the {delta}*(1700) state which subsequently decays into a pseudoscalar meson and the N*(1535). Hence, the reaction provides useful information with which to test current theories of the dynamical generation of the low-lying 1/2- and 3/2- states. Predictions are made for cross sections and invariant mass distributions which can be compared with forthcoming experiments at ELSA.
