Online Photography Course: Head Shots, Moving the Head

Video Transcript

" Hello, I’m Chris Conklin on behalf of expertvillage.com. Now when you are positioning your object of photograph, one of things to watch for is the nose and the angle of the nose, plus the eyes and the angle of the eyes. Now the ears depending upon the turn, you can turn the subject and their ears could disappear, now that looks a little bit awkward unless you are doing something that coincides with that. See, I drop my head and my other ear comes into play. You cannot see my ear over here, but now if I was to drop my head a little, the ear comes into play. I can also tilt it and I can rotate it. So there are different things that you can do, but now a straight on shot, like if you were to draw a straight line all the way down the nose and across the eyes. If I was to tilt my head, you notice in turn that my nose is now pointing out this way, and my eyes are looking that way, or they could be turned towards the camera. "
