This week I am sharing about how shooting at different angles can change the look of your photo and make it look better then shooting straight forward. I was reading this article about finding fresh angles to shoot from. Don’t just shoot looking straight at your subject. Of course you can do some like that, but think outside of the box. If you shoot it from above it is really flattering for anybody. I know I have a few pictures of me like this and they are my favorites.
Try and find someplace that you can safely stand on and have the subject sit or kneel below you. In this photo of Ashley I stood on a low brick wall. It worked out perfectly.
Vary your height kneel, sit, etc. You will just get a bunch of different looking photos this week and find one that you think looks the best. You can lay on you back or belly and take photos looking up.
Don’t be afraid to lay on your belly and shoot straight forward, like I did to get this photo. I think this is fun to do at a maternity shoot to show off their bellies.
