Exploring Point of View
1. Define Juxtaposition.
"Shooting a subject from an "unexpected" angle will have more impact than the viewing angle encountered in every day life."
"..the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect."
Juxtaposition is when you contrast 2 different and non-similar objects, and then to add more "awe" to it ,you angle it differently then you would normally do it.
2. In the text an example of Juxtaposition was given, looking up at an ant, what is another example?
"For example, looking up at an ant will have much more visual impact than looking down on an ant. Or an eye-level shot of a bird is much more powerful than looking up a bird in a tree."
Taking a picture of pigeons but from their POV. This would be a good picture because they're common birds and not hard at all to find and they can show you just how interesting they are from their POV.
3. What is the visual impact on the viewer when using the Become the Subject technique?
"These shots allow the viewer to feel like they are experiencing the event first hand."
This technique allows people to experience things they've never done and to carry this out you need to place a camera right below your chin, or someone would take it from below. So you're either doing something and/or somethings being done to you.
4. Why does shooting from a low angle make the subject feel in control?
"When you shoot a photo from below a subject, it can make the viewer feel as though the subject is in control of a situation. The simple act of looking up at a subject/object can impart a loss of control or the idea that the object is unobtainable."
Well it makes it feel like it's overpowering you/ empowering because the object isn't obtainable which gives it a hint of "it" being higher than you.
5. Why does the viewer feel superior when shooting from above?
"Shooting from above a subject allows the viewer to feel superior to the subject or feel protective of the subject. It can also give the viewer the impression that they are the object of the attention of the subject in the photo, as though it was the viewer placed on a stage.."
It makes the photographer feel superior because it's "above" the object/subject in the picture.
