This document discusses different points of view that photographers can use to make interesting photos, including a bird's eye view from above, a worm's eye view from below, and framing a background object within the foreground to emphasize perspective. It encourages photographers to consider their angle, the background elements, and how they can convey a conceptual point of view.
