02. Who they are!

Today for the Joy of LOVE we had to practice position! Really getting on the same level as who, or what you are photographing. I chose my mom. We really had to portray who that person is... I knew the instant I read the email I had to either get her laughing OR annoyed. haha. :) Here she is!

POSITION

Pay attention to your body position when you photograph. If your subject is little, make sure to get down on his or her level. Have your camera on the same plane as they are. AND, if your subject is taller than you are, then elevate yourself a bit so you are not photographing his nostrils. To capture these of my husband, I stood on a stool so that I was slightly higher than he was. Your angle makes ALL the difference in your finished photo. When I photograph babies, I lay down on the ground so that I am on their same level.
