Unique Angles to Consider When Taking Pictures

If you’re looking for ways to take your online photo galleries from so-so to stellar than one way to do so is to mix up the angles you’re shooting from. You can take a regular, everyday image to something completely new and unique by just making a small switch. Here are some different angles to consider.

Straight Up – Lay flat on the ground (or use a tripod) and shoot straight up at your subject. While this may not work for every situation it’s a great way to get a different perspective on mundane subjects.

Tilting – You can tilt the image towards or away from you (this is especially helpful if you’re shooting food). It invites the viewer into your shot. If you can’t tilt the object itself, tilt yourself so that you have the same visual representation.

Above – Stand above your object and shoot down. This provides a view you may not have ever considered. Many of the objects or decorations that may be a part of the side view will no longer be visible.

Diagonal – Are you photographing multiple things in a line? Shoot at an angle as well so that you catch a corner of each of the objects instead of a straight line. This is a fun shot to do with a group of people or even a lineup of cars!

Emphasis – Instead of a straight on shot of an object, select one portion of it and focus on it. Exaggerate that aspect and let the rest of the object be the background.

Creating fun and interesting photos for your web photo albums not only sets you a part as a photographer but is fun! You’ll be challenging your creativity and photography skills all the while you’re capturing amazing pictures to share with the world.
