A simple photography composition tip: tilt your camera (Dutch angle<\/a>)!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why tilt?<\/h2>\n

\"Dutch<\/p>\n

By tilting your camera, you make your compositions more dynamic. For example, see this picture of a boy I photographed inside a restaurant. I shot it with a 24mm lens, and I tilted the camera to the left. The photo feels off-balanced, like he will fall off and slide off to the left.<\/p>\n

\"Tilt<\/p>\n

\n

Better with wide angle<\/h2>\n

\"Ditch<\/p>\n

Practice the Dutch angle composition (tilting your camera) with a wide angle lens, like a 24mm or 28mm lens.<\/p>\n

\"Diagonal<\/p>\n

Have fun with it! Don’t take it too seriously. Experiment with your composition like a child, with a spirit of play!<\/p>\n

\n

\"Tilt<\/p>\n

A simple way is to just experiment with trees or architecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\"Tilt<\/p>\n

You can also look for lines, and make it tilted. For example this street photo of this woman in Japan through a dotted pattern. Note the line on the bottom is tilted.<\/p>\n

\"Backwards<\/p>\n

Garry Winogrand and tilt<\/h2>\n
