Tip 22: The Dutch Tilt
June 1, 2009

 

The next time you flip through a magazine, take a look at some of the photography.

You’ll be sure to notice that the pros usually incorporate different angles when taking a photo, not just the standard vertical or horizontal shot. Incorporating new angles is an easy way to boost your creativity and enhance your photography.

The next time you’re about to take a photo, try rotating your camera slightly to the left or right - this is called a Dutch Tilt.

You may feel awkward at first, but a simple tilt can really help you create a moving image. There is no proper or set angle to use, so it’s up to you to experiment.

The angle that you want to shoot at is somewhere between landscape and portrait. Landscape is when you hold your digital camera horizontally. Portrait is when you turn your camera 90 degrees, holding it vertically.

Get creative and give the Dutch Tilt a try. Be sure to share some of your results with us here on Facebook!
