When taking photos an important part of how the meaning/story is conveyed is what’s in the photo. However, an equally important part is how the camera is used. This can include changes in angles and distance from the camera, we took these pictures to try and experiment with what meanings different camera techniques can produce.

How can camera create meaning?

Angles- a high angle connotes a sense of vulnerability on the model whereas a low angle makes them appear strong and superior.

Distance- close-ups bring attention to the face, allowing the model to portray their emotions more clearly. Long-shots show the entire body so the meaning of the picture can be portrayed through actions.

Straight/cantered- a cantered (or dutch) angle creates a more dramatic image.
