What does a camera placement do?
- Determine our position to the subject
- It is a code for how the audience responds to the subject
- Is a photographic decision that determines how you want us to engage with the image
- How will you position our ‘reading’ of the image? A photographer puts the viewer in a specific place from which the viewer has a relation to the subject.
Therefore, when making an image, the following questions should be addressed;
- From where does a Photographer position oneself?
Where would the camera provide a place upon which construct its image of the world
• Camera position not only determines position to subject, it determines how the audience sees the subject. How does camera position determine how the viewers engages with the image? It provides position, context, and relation.
• How does the photographer want the viewer to feel about the image? Whether distanced or up-close - forms, patterns, psychologies, moods, feelings, and emotions are created through the relative position of the camera to the subject
• How does the photographer want the viewer to feel about the image? Whether distanced or up-close - forms, patterns, psychologies, moods, feelings, and emotions are created through the relative position of the camera to the subject
