Our choice of shooting angles and focal lengths are two of the most important decisions we make with each of our photographic compositions.
We can find an incredible subject, then squander that image opportunity if we use a shooting angle that places the subject against a distracting background. At times our creative execution may fall short if we select a focal length that is not well suited to our desired depth-of-field. Or, fails to frame our subject to leverage its visual attributes. Choices of shooting angles and focal lengths can have a significant effect on eye flow.
