Camera Angles

Definition: It marks the exact location at which a camera is placed to take a shot. A scene can be shot at several camera angles. The position of the camera can affect the person’s mood on the picture. If the angle is high, it makes whatever you’re taking a picture of look small and insignificant, while if it’s high, it makes the thing, or person look intimidating, or powerful.

For my two pictures, I chose a picture of a man dirt jumping, or off-road biking. The jumping shot is a lower camera angle, making him look very skilled and like a very influential figure in the biking career (in my opinion). The other shot was used to make you feel small, in my opinion, which is one of the purposes of a distance shot.
