The Magic of Tilt-Up Shooting Different Angles, Different Effects

Same scene, shooting from different angles will get completely different effects.

If you have lost interest in the scenes around you or don't know what to shoot, you might as well try tilting up.

The advantage of tilting up is that it can make the object appear tall and straight, giving a feeling of controlling the overall situation. Therefore, in some political occasions, we will see photos with similar angles. In religious-related occasions, we can also see this shooting method.

Tilting up can also be used to express a special atmosphere, such as a feeling of depression and majesty. For example, in the classic shot in the movie The Shawshank Redemption:

This is the use of the tilting up technique to show the oppressive feeling of the prison and the helplessness of the protagonist's heart.

Tilting up also has a very interesting point, that is, it can use an unusual angle to show the side of the object that is not easy to observe, making the photo look very creative.

In our daily photo shooting, we can also make full use of the characteristics of tilting up to show special effects from different angles.

Hereinafter, we will introduce several common and suitable scenes for tilting up:

1. Buildings

Tall buildings are very suitable for tilting up to show their tall and straight feeling, especially the tall building groups in cities. Under the tilting up angle, the perspective of the picture will be particularly strong.

If there is a hollow at the top of the building and you can see the sky, then tilting up is also a good angle. When there are just birds and other things passing by in the sky, the photo will look more interesting.

When we are shooting buildings with tilting up, we can also let the lens approach the wall or corner of the building, so that the extension feeling of the building will be stronger and the picture will have more visual impact.

2. Trees

Trees, like buildings, are also relatively tall and straight objects. Tilting up can also make the picture very impactful.

If it is in the woods, the intertwined trunks and branches can form a very shocking effect. Using a wide-angle lens to shoot, the effect will be more obvious.

In shooting trees, we can also use the method of shooting buildings to let the lens approach the trunk to enhance the sense of extension. If there are just interesting objects such as ants and other creatures on the trunk, it can also make the photo more interesting.

3. Small flowers and grasses

Small flowers and grasses by the roadside and in the park are also suitable for being expressed by the tilting up angle. Under the tilting up angle, these petite plants can also produce a kind of contrast feeling of upward extension, which is very wonderful.

Dense flower clusters are very suitable for shooting this effect. Dense flowers combined with the sky are also very durable.

4. Sports

Tilting up can make the main body appear tall, and can also make the main body's actions appear more exaggerated. When shooting sports such as basketball and skateboarding, appropriate tilting up can make the movement range of the main body more prominent and the jumping height more obvious.

If it is shot with a wide-angle lens at close range, the visual effect will be more impactful.
