3. CAMERA ANGLE AND PSYCOLOGICAL EFFECT
Where the camera is placed in relation to the subject, it affects the way the viewer
perceives the subject.
High angle shot: when the camera is
located high (often above head height)
Low angle shot: when the camera is
positioned low (often a knee height),
looking up. It makes the subject look
powerful or threatening.
Bird-eye shot: refers to a shot looking
directly down) on the subject. It can be
used to emphasise the smallness or
insignificance of the subjects.
Horizontal plain: when your scene is set
horizontally, everything seems peaceful.
4. Basic Camera Shot types:
FS: Full shot (or LS: Long shot o WS:
Wide shot): shows subject in location
MS: Medium shot: Shows what
subject is doing
CU: Close-up: shows a particular part
of the subject
MCU: Medium close up: shows
subject in more detail
ECU: Extremely Close-up: shows a
detail of the subject

25. CAPTURING EPHEMERA
Lee Jeffries lives in Manchester in the United Kingdom. Close to the professional
football circle, this artist starts to photograph sporting events. A chance meeting
with a young homeless girl in the streets of London changes his artistic approach
forever. Lee Jeffries recalls that, initially, he had stolen a photo from this young
homeless girl huddled in a sleeping bag. The photographer knew that the young
girl had noticed him but his first reaction was to leave. He says that something
made him stay and go and discuss with the homeless girl. His perception about
the homeless completely changes. They become the subject of his art. The
models in his photographs are homeless people that he has met in Europe and in
the United States: «Situations arose, and I made an effort to learn to get to know
each of the subjects before asking their permission to do their portrait.» From
then onwards, his photographs portray his convictions and his compassion to the
world.
27. CAPTURING EPHEMERA
Pierre Gonnord captures the marginalized and invisible members of
society in elegant portraits. He has traveled to cities and villages in
France and Spain, the American South, and Japan, finding his
subjects among heavily tattooed Japanese yakuza, urban homeless
youth, the blind, farmers, and coal miners. His lush, large-scale
prints, centered upon the dramatically lit faces of his subjects,
whose heads emerge from inky-black backgrounds, recall portraits
by Rembrandt, Velázquez, and, at times, El Greco. Before he begins
to shoot, Gonnord gets to know his sitters, the better to photograph
them in all their dignity, complexity, and beauty. “Sometimes
hostile, almost always fragile, and very often wounded behind the
opacity of their masks, they represent social realities and sometimes
another concept of beauty,” he says.

Basic Camera Shot types:
Extreme Wide Shots (EWS) act to establish the area.
Wide Shots (WS) o Full shot (FS) or Long shot (LS) show the entire person or area. They’re great for establishing the scene and allow for good action of the characters. Sometimes this is known as the long shot.
Medium Shots (MS) frame the subject from the waste up. This is the most common shot and allows for hand gestures and motion.
Medium Close Ups (MCU) shots show the subject in more detail and are often framed from just below the shoulders to the top of the head.
Close Ups (CU) show a particular part of your subject. For people this usually means the shot frames just the head!
Extreme Close Ups (ECU) are much tighter close-up shots in which you get detail greater than the human eye might be able to normally perceive. An example of this shot might be of the mouth and eyes together
