Photography 1
Vertical Positioning - Bird’s eye
It’s viewing an object from above as if you were viewing from a birds point of view.
Vertical Positioning - Worm’s eye
Viewing an object from below, as if you were a worm, often used to make certain objects
appear bigger/ taller.
Vertical Positioning - High Angle
Typically when the camera is looking down towards the object from a high angle, often
makes the object look smaller (swallowed up)
Vertical Positioning - Low Angle
Taken from below, looking up towards the Point of View, low angle often makes the object
seem bigger, and stronger.
Vertical Positioning - Dutch Tilt
The camera is always positioned on an angle, so it can be put with vertical lines and the
horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom.
Horizontal Positioning - Front
It’s often a shot taken from the front of an object, only the front though, doesn’t matter
at what angle but it is often just taken using Eye level.
Horizontal Positioning - Back
Typically a shot taken just showing the back of the Point of View, it can be taken in many
different angle, but it is always the back of it.
Horizontal Positioning - ¾ Front
The shot is taken from the front but just showing ¾ of the front of an object while the
other ¼ is not showing, you can combine it with different angles.
Horizontal Positioning - ¾ Back
Typically the shot is taken from the back only showing ¾ of the back at any angle.
Horizontal Positioning - Profile
The shot is taken from only the side of the object at a horizontal angle, but can be
combined with any other angles. +
Rule Of Thirds (1)
Often the rule of thirds states that a piece should be divided into nine squares of
equal size, and the object is located in any part with two horizontal lines intersecting two
vertical lines.
Rule Of Thirds (2)
Leading Lines
Leading lines are often used to as another way to draw the viewer's eye through a photo.
They are intentional or unintentional, natural lines created in the space of the photograph.
Creative Lighting (1)
Photographic lighting is the illumination of scenes to be taken as a photo. Lighting is
all-important in controlling the image.
Creative Lighting (2)
Black and White (1)
Black and White photography is when all the color is taken out of the image and only the
black and white are left in the picture, often used to express emotions, and can be taken at
any angle.
