DIY lockdown photography Day 3
Tip No.3: Finding our angles
Yesterday, we discussed capturing the story and the details in your images. Today, let’s talk about finding our angles - how one moment can inspire many pictures.
Creating variety in your images can be as easy as counting! Choose a number 3, 4, 5 or more and shoot that number of different angles. No need to move your subjects, let them do their thing, you move - you change the shot.
In the images below, I had my husband sing Round and Round the Garden to our daughter. He had a direction, she was involved in an enjoyable game and I was free to capture the moment, bringing in variety by changing my angle.

As you can see, it was only one moment, but 5 different images. Count them as you go and make your movements purposefully. Add additional variety by altering your crop like we discussed yesterday - invite in the whole story and the details.
This method works beautifully in both maternity
and newborn sessions.
Count, move and capture - you’ve got this! Come back tomorrow, when we discuss building connections and emotion in our images.
Stay safe
