Camera angles dictate the relative position of our camera to our subject. You can use angle to manipulate your story with emotion and storytelling.
Common angles include:
Low angle - below the subject's eye line, looking up. This gives power to the subject that you are shooting. A lot of wildlife photographers employ this to give the animal they are photographing presence and dominance. It is powerful in macro shots of flowers as well.
High angle - camera is above the subject, can make objects appear smaller, innocent. In landscape photography this can emphasize vastness.
Eye-Level - camera is the same height as the subject's eyes. This is a neutral, realistic perspective, often used for portraits.
Bird's-Eye (top down) often used for flat-lay, food photography or a scene's layout.
Dutch Angle (Canted/tilted) deliberately tilting the camera to create a diagonal, disorienting or even tense composition.
In my scene I am shooting low to give the camas lily field more presence than the scene behind it.
