When taking photos, you must view the subjects from different positions.
- Angel – high, low, and straight
- Distance – close up, far away
- Focusing – picture not blurred
- Composition – cropping, symmetry
- Depth of field – e.g. shadow, reflections
Also when taking pictures, to make them more interesting, think /look for different patterns or shapes in or around the main subject.
Depending on the subject reflections and shadow can make it look more interesting/different also.
