WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Birds Eye/Worms Eye in Photography
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Learning how to capture moments from different viewpoints, which can be interpreted by different viewers in several different ways is important. Being able to capture images demonstrates what you are capable of developing. Exploring creative photography comes down to different abilities to try new avenues within photography.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different techniques and gradually show your success!
You can take an aerial photo from really high up from an airplane or drone or you can simply point your camera down and take a bird's-eye view photo of something like your shoes.
Changing your point of view can help your photos tell a story. Often times, a bird's-eye view gives us a feeling of power, like we are larger than life, looking down at something.
Bird's Eye: looking down
Changing your point of view can help your photos tell a story. Often times, a bird's-eye view gives us a feeling of power, like we are larger than life, looking down at something.
Worm's Eye: looking from the worm's POV
Worm's Eye: looking up
Getting low to the ground is key. Find a subject that you want to photograph and find an angle you like.
Your variable screen will help! You can tilt that screen to see your shot much easier! (Please remember to tilt it back in to the camera so we don't damage the camera!)
Changing your point of view can help your photos tell a story. By photographing a subject from a worm's eye view, you automatically make the viewer feel vulnerable, even if the subject itself isn't frightening.
Remember: Worm's eye isn't just looking up, its perspective from down low...
What would a worm see if looking straight ahead?
