Digital photography tip on lighting and our angle or point of view.
This entry talks about light and how often we don’t really recognize it and how our angle or point of view makes all the difference.
In the first image we have a typical crib in a nursery. There’s a window that is on the left side with non-direct light coming into the room.
In the second photo we have our baby. Most people are happy with this type of an image. We can see the baby in the photo and that is about all. The angle is from a normal adults view, high above and looking down on the baby.
But in our last image, we have an image that will last.
Why?
Because it combines composition (I’ve placed the baby’s face in the upper area of convergence), great lighting (the window provides soft even lighting) and a nice moment as the baby smiles.
My angle or point of view helps to draw the viewer into the image by shooting through the slats of the crib to bring some visual complexity into the photo, too.
Instead of a boring image of a baby lying in their crib, we have a memorable photo of a really cute baby seen from their point of view of the world. The slats do give more complexity to the photo, too.
To review:
Window light where the light is not directly shining on the subject is normally very soft and beautiful.
The angle/point of view of our photo is highly important to give a different perspective to your photographs.
Hope you enjoyed another digital photography tip!
Have a great day.
