Step in closer, fill the frame with your subject, and give it a vertical orientation (portrait) to make your subject look tall and imposing.
This refers to what you want the viewer to focus on in the image. Even when focused in more closely on your subject, a landscape format can create a sense of space, as seen in this image of a tree. The same image shot in portrait mode can accentuate vertical subjects, making them seem more regal. The space created can give the image an entirely different feel. So, if they’re shot in landscape orientation, the image feels more spacious. Space DifferencesĪ big difference between landscape and portrait format is that landscapes are about space–they make you feel like there’s room to breathe. Shooting that scene with a portrait format cuts them off, and you remove some of that balance and secure feeling. On the other hand, when there are a lot of horizontal lines in the scene, that gives a feeling of balance and security in the image. If the scene has a lot of vertical lines, you can either shoot in portrait format to make them appear never ending, or shoot in landscape format to crop them and make them feel more solid. With portrait format, the vertical lines are more prominent. Purpose - What’s the message you want to convey with the photo?.Scene - You’ll want to consider what’s in the background, and how much of that do you want to include in the image.Once you’ve made that choice, you can determine whether it would be better to shoot in portrait or landscape format. That means you have to make choices about what to include and what to exclude.
