Photographer Mike Milsom challenges us to expand our creative horizons by capturing the same subject from two different perspectives. This approach encourages us to see familiar scenes in new ways, revealing hidden details and adding depth to our photography.
Why try capturing two perspectives?
- Enhance creativity: Experimenting with different angles can spark new ideas and compositions.
- Tell a fuller story: Multiple viewpoints provide a more comprehensive understanding of the subject.
- Improve skills: Practising this technique hones your ability to find unique shots in any situation.
Tips for capturing two perspectives:
- Change your angle:
- Shoot from high and low positions to alter the viewer's experience.
- Vary distances:
- Take one close-up shot and one from afar to highlight different aspects.
- Switch lenses:
- Use wide-angle and telephoto lenses to change the field of view.
- Adjust settings:
- Experiment with aperture, shutter speed, or focus to create varied effects.
Challenge yourself to look beyond the obvious and explore your subject thoroughly. By capturing two perspectives, you open up new possibilities and deepen your photographic storytelling.
Below, we are featuring only one of the two perspectives for each photo from our members. To see more, join our community and get access to the Hub at hub.excio.io.
