Shots with angles, not randomly

A picture needs an angle, a photographer needs creativity,colours need a tone. These three things are needed to produce a perfect picture or video. Why do we need creativity? Why do we need angles? Why we need colours? We need all this because a picture can inspire human beings. A picture does not only freeze a situation but tells us about what happened at a place and shows us God's and human's creation. Sometimes, a person will get inspiration from a relaxing picture. A relaxing picture needs an angle that is really compatible with the situation.

These are some of the pictures I have taken.

Extreme Long Shot: The view of Putrajaya from PICC.

Long Shot: Sunset at Port Dickson.

Medium Shot: The view of KLCC at night.

Different pictures require different angles and techniques. Food photography for example, has five techniques of angles that I have learnt. First, is ''Head-on Zen''. This angle requires the food (subject) to be at the centre of the frame and the props must be minimalized to get a great picture. Second, is ''Lost in space''. This angle functions to make the subject look more alive. The food (subject) will be placed onto a white surface to centre all the attention to the subject. Third, is ''Tilt Towards''. The camera is angled to the right, so three quarters of subject can be seen. Fourth, is ''Diagonal''. I am sure this is the most familiar angle to photographers. This angle works by turning the camera diagonally so the subject starts in one corner and ends in the opposite corner, breaking the space diagonally. The last angle is "Above". The camera is positioned directly above and centered. This angle produces a very good graphic look.

Moreover, not only pictures need angles, it applies to movies, it needs angles too. After all, the angles are the same. But, how you make the angle work with your creativity is the way to produce a unique picture.

Although i know some about camera angles, yet i still learn a lot from other photographers and i try to mix up what i learn and also what i have to make a better creativity and idea. Beside that, i also teach beginner photographers through my facebook. We also discuss a lot of things about angles and creativity through email as well
