When you take photos at eye-level, it\u2019s called the \u2018central perspective\u2019. This is great for taking clear photos of landscapes or buildings, and portrait photos of people and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTake the \u2018bird\u2019s eye\u2019 view<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Taking photos from an elevated position will make your subjects appear smaller. This can be a fun way to emphasise the height difference between adults and children. It\u2019s also a popular way to take group photos as you\u2019ll be able to capture more faces when you\u2019re higher up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Look up from a frog\u2019s perspective<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Try crouching and looking upwards through the lens. This will make your subjects appear bigger and taller, so it\u2019s great for showing off impressive buildings or tall trees. For living subjects, this angle can make them appear more dominant \u2013 or even threatening \u2013 perfect for capturing the cat in a haughty mood, or showing off a scary fancy dress costume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get involved in the action<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Use perspective to take you into the heart of the action. For instance, photos of the kids playing will be much more exciting if you lie down in the middle of the fun and take your photos from the \u2018frog\u2019s perspective\u2019 at ground level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a collage of many perspectives<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Make the most of a fascinating subject by experimenting with different perspectives. For example, a historic building will have many details that can be accentuated by playing with angles. Create a set of photographs that will look great displayed as individual framed prints or on a stunning collage canvas<\/a>, poster<\/a>, print <\/a>or mug<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope you have fun adding a dynamic twist to your photos with these new perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What did you create on Snapfish?
