What are the shooting angles of portrait photography?

The front refers to the face of the subject facing the camera, making a zero-degree angle with the camera. When shooting a frontal portrait, we should pay attention to the posture and gestures of the subject, and accurately capture the subtle expressions on the face of the person when shooting, which are often conveyed and revealed through the eyes.

Shooting in the front direction is more suitable for people with protruding head and forehead, stiff nose, backward chin and towering and trembling bones. However, photographers should pay attention to people who have obvious asymmetric differences in facial organs or are obese and have a wide face, so as not to use the positive direction to enlarge their defects.
