Camera Tilt

Tired of taking the same old photograph? There is a solution, my friend, and what a solution it is. TILT YOUR CAMERA.

THIS IS A NEW AND INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.

We are embarking on an age of diagonals and slants. No longer is it acceptable to take pictures in a strict horizontal or vertical fashion. Photographers want to be noticed, so what’s the solution? Drop that elbow and lean like a cholo.

It enables you to control the attention of a photograph while creating an “abstract” image. You are no longer just a photojournalist, you are an ar-teest. No professional would dare return to an editor without at least a few tilted photos. Every situation deserves a skewed approach.

Sure, there’s the old-fashioned photo editors who would tape a level to the top of your camera, but what do they know about real photography?
