How do novice photographers find shooting angles?

For a novice photographer, besides using light, color, clarity and composition, there is another problem to consider: how to find perspective? This paper will help beginners to practice choosing the right shooting angle in photography from eight aspects, so as to find their own shooting style more easily.

1. Move left and right, from left to right, and adjust the composition up and down.

Finding the best shooting angle belongs to the composition range of the picture. In composition, we must find the balance of the picture, try to use the tilt angle, tilt angle, adjust perspective, try to adjust rotation, vertical and horizontal, which directly affects the final effect of image composition.

2. Take close-up photos close to the subject

Close-range photography has opened a whole new visual world, because people usually see wide-angle images. But if you are close to the subject, every detail will be clearer. For example, if you take a close-up photo of a pet, you will see the details of the pet. In the case of shooting close-ups, this can also be used for product photography, surface photography of food, drinks, fruits, people or various objects.

3. Use guides and frames to add a perspective box to the image.

If it is possible to find a line to guide the line of sight, or if the frame provides a different perspective for the shooting location, the created foreground adds dimension to the image and changes the perspective of the image.

Looking for reflections and interesting compositions.

An easy way to find new ideas is to take a photo of the reflection angle, which may be the reflection of a shiny object, a mirror or the water surface. This reflection will produce an unfamiliar feeling. So it is easy for the audience to be interested in the image. Try to practice from the perspective of reflection, and you can create your own ideal reflection angle and composition effect.

5. Use shadows as part of the composition.

Light and shadow are formed through the medium of light source. Make some pictures dark and black. Sometimes shadows can have a dramatic effect on pictures, so let's practice using shadows. Shadow is a part of the composition of the picture, or it can create works that look strange, or it can leave a deep impression on people from the shadow.

6. Shoot from waist height or adjust to different angles.

During the normal shooting time, keep the camera at the photographer's chest level and try to change the level of the hand-held camera. This is to adjust the shooting angle, so as to take an eye-catching photo.

Creating a shooting angle different from the common composition is more common when shooting street shots.

7. If you tilt the camera a little, you will skip the common composition rules.

Sometimes the camera tilts or uses the curved horizon to take pictures, trying to jump out of the restrictions of composition rules, and sometimes it can take different pictures.

8. Try a new angle

Always learning and trying to shoot a new angle, changing the angle to the normal line of sight level, trying to shoot at different distances and trying to change the lens will help you get different perspectives in photography and help you find your own unique shooting style.
