From Above: The Magic of the Lookdown Shot

/ Client Session

There are many various angles that you can photograph a dog.  Eye level, lower than eye level, lower than the ground, on a diagonal (don’t do this…) and from looking down on a pup – aka the lookdown shot. (Yes a lookdown shot literally means an image where you are looking down on your subject from above.)  A lookdown angle pairs lovely with textures and patterns on the ground – leaves or cobblestones – or if your dog is tucked between your legs.  What makes a lookdown shot special?
