composition & perspective 113Relative viewpoints
the two images above show a
confident woman—her strong
character captured by shooting
upward toward her face and upper
body. in the large image on the left,
although i was shooting upward
toward her face in absolute terms,
the perspective is different in relative
terms—her head is bent down so
much that the effect is the same as if
i was looking down into her face from
above. so, although taken from the
same position as the other two, in this
image Annelies appears vulnerable.
