Monotonous noun explanation

Flat shooting means that the shooting point and the subject are on the same horizontal line and shooting at a flat angle. The picture effect formed by flat shooting is close to people's visual habit of observing things, and the sense of perspective formed is relatively normal, and the subject will not be distorted and damaged because of perspective deformation. Therefore, this method of plane shooting is the most widely used in photography practice, and it is relatively fast and convenient to use. In portrait photography, all half-length bareheaded photos used for identity cards and work permits should be taken in a straight angle and with a positive composition; In other portrait photos, Ping She angle is also the majority. In places where the facial structure of the characters is relatively normal, the angle of flat shooting should usually be adopted, so that the faces with correct facial features can be better represented. Portraits taken from this angle are easy to cause emotional communication with the audience and have a feeling of approachability. Flat shooting is suitable for objects with obvious line structure or regular pattern, and will not destroy the normal structure of lines and patterns because of perspective deformation. Any remake of some flat documents and materials needs to be shot with a flat lens. The defect and deficiency of plane photography is that it often compresses all kinds of scenes in the same horizontal line, lacking the effect of spatial perspective, which is not conducive to the expression of layering.
