Why Your Photos Look Flat (You’re Shooting From the Wrong Angle)

Most people shoot everything from eye level, and that’s exactly why their photos look flat. The fastest way to make a more dramatic image isn’t a new camera. It’s changing your angle.

In this video, you’ll learn how to use two powerful camera angles, such as the low “worm’s eye” view and the high “bird’s eye” view to transform ordinary subjects into striking photos.

You’ll see how getting low makes a subject tower and adds drama, how shooting from above changes the whole feel of an image, and the simple gear and tricks that make both easy.

We also cover:
• Worm’s eye view: how getting low alters perception and adds impact
• Using a tilting screen to shoot low without lying on the ground
• Bird’s eye view: why you don’t need to be flying to shoot from above
• Using a wide lens and a step ladder to fit more faces into group photos
• A pro trick for fitting more faces into group photos
• Step-by-step: how to actually shoot a strong low-angle and high-angle photo

If your shots feel flat and samey, your camera angle is probably the reason and this video shows you exactly what to do instead.
