Point of View & Perspective Project
In this project you will be exploring various camera angles in order to improve your composition. The photographer’s camera angle can determine how viewers perceive the subject. For example, shooting from a low camera angle looking up can make the subject look powerful whereas shooting from a high camera angle looking down can make a subject appear weak or vulnerable. You see this lot in the news media.
Any ordinary object can look interesting if you change the point of view from how you normally see it. Choose ordinary objects, buildings, etc. (no people) and take pictures from different points of view (up high, down low, inside, upside down). Change the angles with your camera to distort the image. Can you find a way to incorporate converging lines?
Try to make the viewer feel or see something in a perspective they have never experienced or thought of.
