Ed Rooney Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Why on Earth are they placing the camera so we look up the talker's nose? I did portraits for 10 years and the only time I would go for that is if an actor wanted a shot where they looked like Dracula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because the photographer or videographer doesn’t care much for the speaker? A subtle way of showing them at their worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Videographer maybe wearing a small action type camera (GoPro?) angled up a bit on their chest with a harness? Not uncommon in some instances.

MDM Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Could be DIY and there may not be a camera person involved. During lockdown there was a big move towards people being interviewed or even presenting live TV from their own homes using smartphones, tablets or laptops with the capture device seemingly placed on a desk in front of them. This seems to have become much more accepted for interviews and must be way cheaper than sending a TV crew. I see this a lot for football news.

Ed Rooney Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 CNN for one, Steve F. But they all do it. And you guys are jazzing around: there's no valid reason on Planet Earth to do it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 If I may step aside for a moment, I'd like to alert you all to a blogger chef who uses the looking-up tech but with a sense of humor. I'm referring to Stephen Cusato and Not Another Cooking Show. He's the only guy who seems to know the subtle tricks behind Rome's 4 famous pasta dishes. Here he's doing Cacio e Pepe, a simple dish everyone outside of Rome gets wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
