The angle of shooting The angle of taking a photo not only plays an important role in expressing the content of the photo. It is also an indispensable and important link in forming a beautiful composition. Different shooting angles produce very different photos. Changing the angle can directly affect the structure of the picture. For example, take three photos at the same distance, at the same height, and with the same focal length lens using elevation, horizontal, and depression angles. Although the scenery before and after does not change, the content included in the picture is different. If using different heights. At the same distance, take three more photos using elevation angle, horizontal angle, and depression angle, and you will find that the foreground and background change greatly. This means that different angles between the camera and the subject produce different effects. The height of the camera angle. Directly affects the horizontal line and spatial depth changes in the picture. Now let’s talk about the effects of using the angles of looking down, looking straight up and looking up.

Looking down: when taking a photo, the camera is positioned higher than the object and the photo is taken from top to bottom. It is characterized by a broad field of vision and a large visible scene. The scenery is comprehensive and you can have an overview of the whole situation. This method is mostly used to shoot large scenes, such as large-scale grain harvests, grasslands and herds of livestock, transportation hubs, water surfaces, etc. If the angle of depression is large, although there is no broad scene, it will have its own unique effect when shooting special subjects.

Head-up, that is, the camera and the subject are roughly on a horizontal line. This angle is close to the habitual impression of the human eye. The characteristic of the head-up composition is that it has good perspective effect and is generally not prone to deformation. This method is smooth and convenient. No additional equipment is required, but the resulting photos are rarely varied and original. Beginner photographers are accustomed to taking pictures from a flat angle.

Looking up means shooting from bottom to top. The camera is lower than the subject, and the horizon of the photo taken is low. The characteristic of shooting from an elevation angle is that it can make the scenery look grand and tall. For example, if you take a picture of a building, you will feel like you are soaring into the sky; if you take a picture of a high platform diving, with the blue sky as the background, it will show the athlete's power and the feeling of flying in the sky. When shooting at a low angle, you can also discard the cluttered background to make the picture concise and the subject prominent.

While choosing the high and low angles, you also need to choose the horizontal angle of the scene. Take taking pictures of buildings as an example. Whether you want to take pictures of the front, the side or the back, you need to observe from all sides. After deciding on the angle, compose the picture. Another example is taking portraits of people. You might as well focus on the person being photographed, combine the characteristics of light, face shape, etc., observe carefully, and shoot at the most beautiful and ideal angle. Choose an angle. It is mainly subject to the needs of the content. On the one hand, it is the location that best reflects the characteristics of the subject and is the most expressive.

Shooting from the front, side and back, each has its own characteristics. The frontal composition has symmetrical and stable line structure and a solemn and majestic atmosphere. However, the frontal composition lacks a sense of perspective and tends to be dull. Example composition. It has a strong sense of three-dimensionality and can produce a sense of space and line perspective effects. If you shoot a portrait from the side, you can fully display your graceful posture and facial expressions. Utilize the contrast between light and dark to enhance the three-dimensional effect. This is the most commonly used angle. Using oblique side shooting, the scene has part of the front and part of the side in the picture, which can highlight the entire outline of the subject. The composition of the back is mostly used to meet the special needs of the content and can show special effects. There are also many impressive works of photography from the back, which requires experience and exploration in practice.
