A person has binocular vision and the world is perceived in a horizontal orientation. Vertical orientation in photography is always a bit on the sidelines because of the greater complexity in constructing the frame.
If you can not build a horizontal frame at all and miss all sorts of balances, then it will still be perceived somehow.
With a vertical frame, such a thing may not pass.
There is a simple approach to verticals – to shoot vertically what has a vertical shape, is elongated in height or goes into the distance.
The second method is more complex – top-down or bottom-up multiplicity of plans.
If it is quite simple in a landscape with vertical compositions (trees, sky, road, blade of grass), then it is more difficult with street photography.
Street photography, as it turned out, can be vertical!
In general, everything is always simple for me! The main thing is that the frame is filled and there are plans. All.
These pictures were taken in the spring of this year on different days.
I then decided to study the vertical orientation of the frame.
But for some reason I didn't want to show it right away, but decided to let the pictures stand.
And you can immediately see that the street is much more interesting in spring than in summer.
And the conclusion from this is this: vertical pictures should also be taken, but not on purpose, but to set yourself up so that it feels like – when the vertical needs, then shoot.
That is, it is necessary to remove the next block from myself, since I perceive reality only horizontally.
You need to learn how to try on different projections to the visible.
And the most interesting thing is that I used to be able to do it...
About half of my first film photos were taken vertically!
And subsequent digital ones were also often vertical.
But then I decided for myself that it was difficult, and I got into landscapes.
And now I'm trying to get rid of all the restrictions I once set myself.
