Hi! I rarely see photos that look good by introducing (either a lot or just a little) tilt. Granted, I don’t look at a lot of professional photos, and I’m more talking about typical amateur photos. So my question is: is there a situation where introducing tilt is beneficial? Or am I right in my intuition to just avoid tilt when taking photos?
it really is up to how you want to frame the photo and convey the scene. it’s an artistic choice, really.
basically, does it look good when tilted? yes? tilt it! line that horizon up with the corners! make a dutch angle, create tension! fix the leaning tower of pisa! the world is your oyster; tilt that too!
hey, in this world of digital, you can always take multiple pictures at different levels of tilt, and even rotate and crop the image in an image editor afterwards.
don’t stay stuck in not adding tilt; try things out, experiment, find what you like. if it turns out you prefer the order and beauty in a simple and level photo? more power to you!
