Get Better Portraits by Turning Your Camera Upside Down?

examples


QUOTE ... True, the effect is subtle. However, if you show someone a photo of themselves using this technique they will like the upside down flash version better, guaranteed.



there you go .. you don't get many guaranties in this life ... I suggest you jump on this one


.... you sure you know how to use that thing?

I'll grant that it's subtle. But, could the apparent reduction in facial lines be due to now having the camera's flash acting as a counterpoint to the, generally above point of view, of the ambient lighting?

sort of... to prove this theory, take a flashlight, and go to the mirror in a room and shine it in youf fave at different angles. you'll be able to see the enhancement or reduction of facial 'texture' depending on the angle.
