I have checked many youtubers but you are the best for me, thanks for all the lessons
If you put camera on tripod go upside down so does your photo upside down too?
very helpfull
Love this!! Favorite photography channel.
Thank you for the video. I use low angle for portraits 😊
Muchas gracias.
I really love of this angle, oneday ill use it in video mode
Loved the idea of shooting below the horizon 🙂
This video is a must for every photographer :)😍 love it! Thank you Sir Andrew and team❤️
That thumbnail is unintentionally funny to me for some reason…
❤
Thank you Andrew, I love watching your videos as you always seem to share the things that go wrong too which is important to see as we all mess up! 😁
good stuff. gonna try this soon!
is that a 50mm lens? would it be better to use 85mm
Jovy is pretty!
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. Big LIKE. Have a nice day.
hello sir i am sanjay from india i like your all video ..thanks sir
I stopped watching after 1:30 so can't comment further than that. But I disagree with you on "going low" when taking portraits. High or low angles, there are no fixed rules!
It all depends on the mood and meaning you want to create in the photo. That's why photography is an art.
The first and second photos are not any worse than the third one where you laid on your belly to take the shot. The third one seems better because you wanted to simply feature the model in more detail and you had a boring background. The first shot can be the best if only you had a much better background.
By the way, modern DSLRs and mirrorless cameras usually have flip out LCD screens. You don't have to go down on your belly. 🙂 That's just so old school!
wah this location near in my house. Gamuda Gardens, Sungai Serai, Selangor, Malaysia
Great video and illustration!
Lying down missionary, you get good shot!
Practice what you preach bro.., Photography or Skip the rock, going Lower gives better results.. 🙂 🙂 🙂 You are married, experience speaks …… hahaha
Don't do this at home. Especially using cheap tripods. or your camera will "Nyemplung" into water. 😅
As always good job
thanks
Awesome video and tutorial 👌
Beautiful location.
👍
AF face priority with Animal face? And it worked?
👌👌
Thank you for the video. I use low angle for portraits 😊
🙏🙏
I’m over 75, I don’t take a knee happily. It’s the getting back up! Still, your point was well made.
If the subject was standing, the results might have looked a little different. And if he was filling the frame with the subject also different results.
I think the takeaway from this is to try some different angles but don't expect that lying on the ground is always going to give the best results.
Ever seen photographers at Red carpet events lying on the ground taking photos of celebrities?
Lol you guys are funny
I'm a fan of low camera angles. Provide a perspective the viewer is probably not used to seeing. I notice that your images are basically wide angle and with a 50 mm. I think the risk of low camera perspectives is shooting too close to the model and foreshortening becomes an issue. The model morphs into a giantess. Legs, lower body huge, with a small head. Probably not flattering. Better to shoot low, and long?
Great tips and goodjob Jovy
Photography is an art to enjoy – not makes things difficult and risky for you and your equipment.
what is ur lens?
Great tips, Andrew! Loved the scenery you had for this shoot.
Good job Andrew. Except for the holding it upside down near the water–they were all throw away shots. Great to show a camera class but worthless to a working pro. But the rest of your advice to go from standing to kneeling and then to a prone position are good pointers for new photographers.
Great tips! When is Nikon ever going to introduce the fully-articulating screen? That's one reason I love my Canon and Panasonic cameras. I did a shoot of a bridal shop (wedding dresses store) with the camera upside-down, near the floor, on a monopod. They absolutely loved them. I guess they were used to always seeing photos taken at eye-level, so it was something new. Andrew brings up a great reminder to not always shoot from the same level. Of course, we all know it's the people in the background at Beyond Photography who make this such an awesome channel. hehe. I've said this many times before and I'll say it again – Andrew is BY FAR the best photography instructor I've seen yet. Your online courses are so worth the small price! You teach things that I've NEVER heard anyone else mention. I'm an old man, as some of you know, and I've watched THOUSANDS of hours of photography tutorials. There's just one other guy, a mostly-wedding photographer whom I won't mention (you can reply and guess, if you want to. I'll let you know if it's the guy I'm thinking of), that I think does an outstanding job. All the others pretty much repeat the same old things. But Andrew presents new ideas. And it's those differences that can really set your photography career ahead of the competition. Thanks to the entire Beyond Photography team for bringing us these great videos.
Thank you soo much sir, your videos are soo knowledgeable
Hi Andrew and team… once again simple ..straight….lovely presentation.. nice low angle shots… mono pod idea simply marvalous… if you have time do make clip on Black and white photography… that will help lot of your students to improve their skills… stay blessed.. love and respect from Pakistan…😍😍😍
Thanks Andrew, awesome tutorial
Lovely 🔥🔥🔥. Shooting in live view is also another great way of shooting low. It gives you the liberty shooting very low without the stress of kneeling or lying down
Good video but my back wouldn't make it through the shoot
Wow! Dem articulated screens from the new cameras would be helpful then for these kind of shots. Thanks Beyond Photography!
As you back away from your subject, lower your camera angle but if you want to really screw up shoot 3/4 or close up low you get nostril shots! When photographing portraits close up or 3/4 a few degrees above the nose to hide the nostril holes is a must. I agree shooting head height with a normal or wide angle lens is most unflattering.
My favorite channel. Hi Andrew and the Team ❤🙏🥰
