Five shooting angles of photographic structure

Lead: Shooting direction refers to choosing shooting points around the shooting object on the same horizontal plane with the shooting object as the center. With the same shooting distance and shooting height, different shooting directions can show different side images of the subject, as well as different combinations of the subject and his companions, the subject and the environment.

Shooting directions are usually divided into: front angle, oblique angle, side angle, back angle and back angle.

First, the positive angle

The frontal angle refers to the shooting position at a certain angle with the front of the subject, which mainly shows the typical image of the front of an object. For example, architecture, regardless of ancient and modern design, pays attention to the positive style and decoration, such as Tian 'anmen in Beijing and various exhibition halls and museums. A positive angle can show the true color of an object. Character appearance is also a good example, and the positive image has the characteristics of character appearance. Orthographic composition mainly shows that objects are mostly on the dividing line of the center of the building, which is often symmetrical. Generally speaking, the positive composition image is dignified and steady.

Second, the oblique angle

Oblique angle refers to the shooting position that deviates from the front angle, or moves to the side angle left or right around the object. When the angle deviation between the front and the side is small, the front image often changes little. You can choose a suitable shooting position within the range of front and side angles, which can not only show the image characteristics of the front or side of the object, but also make the image of the object have rich and varied changes, and often get vivid images.

Third, the side angle

Side angle generally refers to the shooting position perpendicular to the side of the subject, which mainly shows that the side of some objects has typical images. For example, portrait photography, silhouette angle can clearly see the external contour characteristics of a person's appearance, making the portrait form diverse. In objective objects, many objects can only be seen clearly from the side, such as the figure of people walking, the foreign trade of various vehicles, and some electrical appliances. Under such conditions, the lateral angle can better express the characteristics of the object. The side angle is more flexible than the front angle, and some changes can be made around the verticality of the side to obtain the shooting position that can best express the side image of the object.

Fourth, reverse the angle.

Inverted angle refers to the shooting position that moves from the side angle around the subject to the back angle. It has abnormal consciousness. It can often show the unique spirit of objects. Compared with the commonly used front, side and oblique side angles, it has unexpected effects and often gets very vivid images. Of course, for some objects, it is like an oblique image. So the angle of the opposite direction needs the subject, or only the right subject can choose the opposite direction.

Fifth, the back angle

The choice of the shooting direction of the back angle not only changes the image of the subject, the form of composition, but also changes the content of performance. Therefore, when considering the choice of shooting direction, it should change according to the specific shooting object and the requirements of theme performance. As for the rake angle, bevel angle, side angle, dihedral angle and back angle, there is no difference between good and bad. If used properly, you will get a successful composition.
