Vantage Points [or point of view]❖ A vantage point, or point of
view is where the camera is placed in relationship to the primary object being photographed
❖ By changing the vantage point, the photographer can affect the emphasis within the setting, the strength of the object and the juxtaposition (physical relationships) between the objects
