Photo Composition, and use of angles - Ian Niblack
In my book, Photography: The guide to taking beautiful digital pictures, photographs and compositions, I have learned so much. So, I decided to share with you about what I have learned regarding angles and photo composition.
In Photo composition, you are supposed to imagine (Or Utilize) a 6 section grid overlaying your photo as you're taking and editing photographs. The grid is used to guide where your place your subject within the frame. If you about how to line up the subjects features to where they should be on the grid, then you can keep your photos from looking tacky and unprofessional. But as soon as you properly line up the subject, you photo can look 10x better. Certain parts of the subject should not be cut off by the frame, like the top of their head, or any of their joints. (You can see how i used to this to help make my photo look more professional below)
I also used a low angle. When using angles, you have to consider what parts of the subject you are trying to capture, as well as how you want them to look within the image. In my photo below, I used a low angle to help capture the size of the mountain compared to the small subjects. With the way my subjects are approaching the mountain and looking onward, it really makes this candid shot feel hopeful and brave, as if the subjects are going to "conquer the mountain"
