When talking about photos, angles play a very important role in expression of emotions and ideas.
We were tasked to take a few shots of a subject, using different camera angles and compositions.
The 'bottom-up' shot:
-Taken using camera from a lower position with respect to the subject. Normally used by political leaders or individuals with power, to depict vision, power and authority.
The 'top-down' shot:
-Taken using camera from a higher angle as compared to the subject. This is a portrayal of weakness, vulnerability and helplessness in the subject. Effective in portrayal of the needy or during disasters to evoke sympathy.
The 'long-shot':
-A composition whereby the subject is taken together with the surroundings. This give the viewers an idea of how the subject interacts with the environment.
