Viewpoint

SWPP Photographic Glossary

In photography, the viewpoint refers to the position or angle from which a photograph is taken. It determines how subjects are framed, the perspective of the scene, and the overall composition of the image.

Choosing the right viewpoint allows photographers to emphasize scale, depth, and relationships between elements in a scene. Understanding and experimenting with different viewpoints is essential for creating visually compelling and dynamic photographs.
