There is never a set of rule or guidelines for taking the best photos, or what cameras are best. This is because there is beauty in every angel, and different perspectives bring out different feels.

I can see by your images that under the right circumstances, all angles can work beautifully. A lot depends on what background you are working with. It seems that rules are meant to be broken.

I usually stay too close on the object that I am not taking pictures of. I have to agree that the angle looked good if there is no distraction on the background.

And there shouldn't be unless we want our cookbooks and others to contain photos all shot from the same angle. Photography is all about identity. Each photo has to have an identity of its own, and that includes the angle from which it is taken. it all just depends on the photgrapher and the target audience. So, there should not be limiting rules of thumb. Let us all let the photographer explore. Photography after all is also an art and art is fluid.

Very few tripods let you use the top down angle. I find holding the camera at fast shutter speed gives sharp image and then I don't have to worry about tripod. In the next post, I'll cover when to use what angle. As always, thank you for your comment.

I absolutely LOVE top-down photos like Helen's of Tartelette, but I can never seem to pull them off - I can't ever get them in focus without my trusty tripod to attach my camera to...So usually I end up doing somewhere around 0-15. I like this angle because I can use my tripod and it gives the food a bit of height which I think makes easier to be more visually appealing. Great post!
