Camera Angle
The best place to put the camera for a neutral
feeling about the subject is at their eye level.
|
- High angle: In relation to subject placing the camera lower
than the subject gives the feeling that the subject is tall or powerful.
The viewer is "looking up" to the subject. (For example: a king,
president or respected elder).
|
|
|
|
- Low angle: Placing the camera above the subject gives the
viewer the feeling that the subject is small or diminutive. The viewer
is "looking down" on the subject.
|
|
|
|
- Distance to subject: If the subject is farther away, they
appear smaller and also of less importance. Similarly, if the subject is
closer to the camera, the subject is bigger in the photo and seems more
important. Closer brings out detail - the viewer can see the person's
face and expressions.
