Tip : High angles can really rock

In several blog posts I discussed the use of low angles….
Now let’s look today at what a high angle can do.
This shot was taken during a workshop with Poeka (round Emmeloord) where I used a wide-angle from a high angle aimed down at my model, thanks to the flip up screens found on most modern cameras you don’t have to guess anymore, but you can see what you’re doing. DO make sure that you check for your feet in the frame… especially with extreme wide angles.

Now you know this is going to distort like crazy, so don’t even try to correct this but go with the flow, add some expression and styling and you can get some really cool results.
