Just A Matter Of Perspective
When photographing animals or children, it’s essential to get down to their level. This might mean bending your knees, crouching, or even lying on the ground if you’re capturing small animals. So, it's best to leave the designer clothes at home for this one!
Why is this so important? It all comes down to perspective. Shooting from above can make children look small and impose a sense of authority. On the other hand, getting down to their eye level makes the photo more relatable and engaging. With animals, being at their level transports you into their world, creating a more immersive and intimate image.
So next time you’re out with your camera, remember to get down and dirty. Your photos will be all the better for it!
