Five shooting angles in photography

The five shooting angles in photography are as follows:

1, boxer

Also known as the general shooting angle, it is to shoot an object at a level with the camera lens. This angle of the picture is easy for the audience to have a sense of identity and make people feel immersive.

2. Inclination angle

Elevation shooting refers to placing the object on a horizontal line and the camera is below the horizon, that is, shooting from a low position to an upward elevation. This angle will make the audience feel tall, strong and energetic. This kind of picture is generally used to shoot character scenes, which makes people look tall and heroic.

3. Depression angle

Contrary to elevation angle, when shooting with depression angle, the subject is placed under the cameraman's visual field of vision and shot from a height. The most typical scene is a bird's eye view. Generally used to show the whole picture of the environment.

4. Inclination angle

It is to form a certain angle between the subject and the horizon, and then change the position of the horizontal line in the picture. This kind of picture can sometimes show a funny and unpredictable feeling.

5. Subjective shooting angle

That is, the subjective lens is to put the lens on the viewpoint of a character in the film and explain or show the scenery to the audience with the feelings of that character. Often used to express the specific feelings of a specific person, with a strong subjective color.
