Summary
- Taking photographs from lower down than normal can completely change the feel of the picture
- Shooting from a low angle gives a unique perspective as you are not usually looking at the world from this viewpoint
- It makes the subject of the photo appear bigger and more imposing, even if it is actually quite small
- Animals look more photogenic if you crouch or lie down to shoot at their level, instead of pointing your camera downwards at them
- It can also make portraits of people appear more heroic, bold and imposing, depending on the angle you shoot from below
- Some subjects lend themselves to being photographed from below, including large objects, animals, people and nature
