The horizon is the line where the earth and sky appear to meet in a photograph. Its position can be altered by tilting the camera or cropping the image, influencing whether the sky or the landscape becomes the main focus of the composition.
A low horizon, achieved by tilting the camera upward, emphasizes the sky, creating a sense of openness or drama. Conversely, a high horizon, achieved by tilting the camera downward, draws attention to the landscape or foreground elements. Understanding horizon placement is essential for effective composition and visual storytelling.
