There are four main perspectives that can be used in photography. The first one is a normal viewpoint, which is the perspective that we normally see the world. It creates a familiar and relatable perspective. The next viewpoint is the bird’s-eye view. This viewpoint is when the camera is placed above the subject to create an arial sort of photo. This perspective helps create a new higher perspective. Worm’s-Eye view is another viewpoint. This view is when your camera looks up at the subject to create a photo. This perspective creates a unique, lower perspective that makes the subject more powerful. Lastly, their is the POV perspective. This is a viewpoint where you create a photo that has a subjects perspective present. This affect creates a storytelling and immersive photo.
In this post you will see how I used all four perspectives to explore different subjects and find unique photo opportunities.

Featured Image
This photo is my featured image because I like how the worm’s-eye view creates depth in the photo. Also since I took this photo during fall, I love how the leaves on the ground create a beautiful foreground to the photo. I also love how the sky mimics the colors of the leaves on the ground.
