Many aspects have already been said up to now that dealt with the position of the camera in relation to its subject when it comes to photography.
Camera angles can be rather complicated especially if one is just starting out as a photographer. To get through all the confusion, keep in mind the three standard camera angles one should use: eye-level, high and low. Through the use of these three camera angles and their positioning when taking photographs, the outcome of the images will be determined. Of the three, eye-level is the simplest angle to master especially as a novice photographer.
The high and low level angles can too be mastered but the outcome of a photograph using these angles is much different from eye-level; typically the pictures will have a certain amount of distortion to them and if unsure how to manipulate the camera angle to get the shot that is wanted, it can be a sense of frustration if just starting out.
With this, camera angle speaks only for the context in which it is found. You can't surmise that the photographer wanted to express the whole concept or idea of the subject, in general, through camera angles. This is because camera angles only show a certain point of the story through the dominant position you may want to project.
Consequently, the correct determination of the best angle will render good picture of the subject that will, in some way or another, replicate the best view of the real scene. Keep in mind that the camera does not exactly capture the way the human eye sees a particular scene. Hence, it now depends on the expertise and skill of the photographer to determine the best angle to capture the best view.
While there are many considerations in determining the best angles to use, there are some basic tips to ensure first-rate camera shots:
1. Points of Interest
A photographer uses their camera to tell a story. Camera angles chosen determine the outcome of the shots taken. As a rule, all photographers should master the points of interest when setting up their shots.
Once a photographer has chosen the subject or scene to be shot, the angles chosen will then help in conveying what type of emotion the photographer is trying to elicit from the picture. Ultimately, a photographer wants there to be meaning in their shots so as to draw attention to them.
2. Lighting
The meaning one finds in photographs comes in part from the way a subject or scene is lit. Camera angles play a vital role in the outcome of a shot. Depending on how a photograph is lit, it can change the entire mood trying to be conveyed in a single shot.
In the end, camera angles may seem simple enough, yet angles chosen by the photographer can shape the final outcome of the picture being photographed.
