Important photography considerations
Camera Angles
-Depending on the picture your taking you will want to use different camera angles (ex. a close up might show emotion).
-Different camera angles can make your photos more intersting.
-Keep framing in mind, framing around your main focus in the photo can fill the space or add more focus to the person/object being photographed.
