Low-angle shooting skill

Many novices only shoot at a horizontal angle, which will make the photos look dull, so you can try shooting at a low angle. Most photographers observe the world from a horizontal angle most of the time, and they are used to using it when shooting. In fact, low-angle shooting can bring visual impact to the audience. Photography enthusiasts may wish to refer to the following low-angle shooting techniques to see if they can bring new feelings to your photography.

Look at the world from a low angle

When shooting children and animals, do you find the images unsatisfactory? Have you ever thought that this is precisely because you shoot images from a daily perspective? In fact, sometimes shooting from a low position will surprise you, because it is a visual effect that people rarely touch every day. However, low-angle shooting is not purely bottom-up, and shooting subjects close to the ground at a horizontal angle can also be regarded as a kind of low-angle shooting.

Flexible thinking about shooting angle

Taking a low angle as the shooting angle does not mean that people are encouraged to shoot at a low angle blindly, but in addition to using daily angles, we can also consider shooting at a low angle to diversify photographers' works. For example, when shooting children and animals, you can try to put down your body and shoot images at his/her level, so that the audience can see the world from his/her perspective.

Be patient in framing and composition.

When shooting at a low angle, if the photographer uses a general digital camera, it is difficult to find a view and make a composition through the viewfinder. As a result, he had to try and shoot wrong, which undoubtedly tested the photographer's patience. If the photographer's camera is equipped with LiveView real-time display function and rotating screen, it will be easier to shoot.
