Composition 15. The Highs and Lows of Your Perspective
This is Part 15 of my series on Composition
When parents are anticipating their toddlers starting to toddle (taking their first steps) they often start child-proofing their homes for the safety of their children. Often, they will get on the floor to foresee what that child might find fascinating at their eye level. So the adult changes their perspective to the low angle.
Changing your perspective in creating art or photography can make the angles more interesting if you changeup the angle from the usual eye level and go low or go high. And a different feeling can be created from just changing the perspective - your eye level.
Capture a person from a low spot can make them seem more powerful, bigger, larger than life.
A couple of photos from a lower level. How often do you look up at a goat or see the underside of the leaves covered in snow?
This could a drone shot, an aerial view which is not our normal eye level perspective.
Try getting your shot or your design from a different perspective to make it "not the normal" image.
