Who is Photophile?
PHOTOPHILE is a person who loves photography, carries a camera on
the shoulder everywhere, and enjoys taking photos.
In the process, he forgets the surroundings and the onlookers!
The photographer also wants to have the best & Unique shot
possible,won’t hesitate to try different camera angles for the same
subject.
What is Camera Angle?
Camera angle is the way camera is positioned and the shot is
composed.
Earlier, the term was used for a specific location at which a movie
camera or video camera was placed to take the shot.
Now it has become common with still camera photography.
“Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the
things you see and everything to do the way you see them” Elliott
Erwitt
Getting this particular angle, for that particular situation is a life &
death matter for the photographers, especially for professional
photographers.
Photographers swear by the camera angle since it can make or break
the photograph.
Viewpoint and perspective in photography make all the difference in
getting the best shot.
“Sometimes you need to look at things from a different
perspective” unknown
To get that fantastic camera angle, photographers rely on the body
position which may appear weird to the onlookers.
From inside of an Auto Rickshaw!
Can you guess what the other lady is trying to focus?
“Focus on the step in front of you, and not the whole staircase” unknown
Back view Matters!!
The Camera angle has no bounds!!
Why I have selected this topic… being myself a photographer ?
Good question my friend.
Apart from that ‘Perfect Camera Angle’, I am also interested in the
health aspect of the photographer.
Yes, my friend. Anybody can become a victim, irrespective of age.
Do you know the common health-related issues of the photographers?
Of course, I am not talking of Gear Acquisition Syndrome(GAS) or
Lens Buying Addiction(LBA) or Photo Forum Addiction(PFA) or The
Upgrade Beast(TUB) Source- photography.life.com
I am talking about common injuries like
- Back pain ( Disc prolapse, disc bulge, compression fracture)
- Neck pain (cervical spondylosis)
- Shoulder Pain(arthritis, frozen shoulder)
- Ligament sprain
- Even injuries causing contusion or abrasion
- Injuring others
- Wrist arthritis
What is my advice?
Better if the photographer takes care, after all, prevention is better
than cure.
Always get guidance from Sports Medicine Doctor regarding proper
body posture

Lol… I think I have officially become a carrier of this disease! Since getting serious about my photography this past summer it has been a real comfort. It has helped me get out of my head and, as you point out, see things from a different perspective. I look forward to reading and seeing your posts.

Photography along with different camera angles keep one quite busy.
One must be cautious about posture.
