TIP
You can also use curves when photographing people.
You can direct your subject to move into a position where
the curve of the neck and jaw form a compositional
element in the picture. You can also direct your subject
so that the curls in the hair align along a center of
interest, or you can direct your subjects so that their arms
form graceful, natural-looking curves in the picture. Don??™t
overdo it, however, or the pose will look awkward, or it
may appear as though your subject??™s arm is broken.

Compose a Photograph from
Unique Vantage Points
Many beginning photographers shoot from eye level, which can result in
perfectly wonderful photographs. However, when you shoot from above a
subject, your photograph takes on a whole new meaning. The same is true if
you photograph an object such as a vehicle or tall building from a crouching or
kneeling position. The vehicle or building looks larger than life. Landscapes also
benefit when you shoot from a crouching or kneeling position. The landscape
looks more majestic, and if there are any mountains in the scene, they appear to
be higher.
