Common Mistake done by Photog. and Videog.
It’s definitely cool to have low angle shots from different places, but it’s a bad idea to have low angle shots on people when your object is at a medium close up (MCU) range, especially girls.
Why so?
Shooting people at MCU range will focus more on their fatty chins, or even if they are not, notice that the portion of neck is shown more than usual, in result, your model looks definitely much fatter.
Note:
If you notice, most girls loves to have their picture done with high angle shots.
A natural pose response you will get from females when you have your cam pointing at them
Face went 45Degree to the left/right
Face tilt down a little bit
Eyes went real big and stare at you (that’s a symbol of an OK for a snap!)
Why do they do that? simple enough, it makes them thinner! beautiful! and woohoo!
Avoid being scold by the ladies, saves a photog/videog’s day, and get yourself a few thumbs up!
Happy shooting people,
Regards
