Weekly Photography Challenge – Low Perspectives

15 Dec

The post Weekly Photography Challenge – Low Perspectives appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Caz Nowaczyk.

This week, the weekly photography challenge – low perspectives!

Matthew Henry

That’s right! Get down low and take photos from a low, interesting perspective. They can be of absolutely anything – they just have to be taken from an angle that is close to the ground.

It could be architecture, interiors, still life, landscapes, street photography, or people. It can be color, black and white, moody, bright or whatever you like!

I can’t wait to see your shots!
