Thoughts for the day: In Portraits How High Should Your Camera Be?
How tall or old do you want the viewer of the photograph to think you are? If you take the photograph at your eye level the viewer will have one idea of how tall or old you were when you took the image. If you take it from the eye level of a preteen or a 4yo they will have a very different impressions of your age. And if you hold the camera up high they may think you are an NBA star. Is this important as part of your story?
