Perspective photography is very important in the art of composition, especially when capturing images of animals in the wild. In this free video, world renowned outdoor photographer Ian Plant travels to Kenya for tips on perspective photography, which is defined as your position relative to the wildlife subject. Ian shows you three angles of composition. A high position is best for photographing animals in tall grass and excludes the sky. A middle position works if you want to include the sky and have the animal intersect the horizon line. A low position allows you to include foregrounds like blurred grass for abstract interest. Be aware of perspective photography in your decisions on composition.
