Camera Position 173 : Position The Camera – Position The Viewer

When we position the camera, we are ultimately positioning the viewer of our photographs. We explore this idea using a 1757 painting by the Venetian Painter Canaletto, who often used a camera obscura to create his paintings.

Thanks to Dirk Rösler and the folks at the Large Format Photography Forum for setting these wheels in motion. Check out some of the conversations we’re having on Facebook and Flickr about photography and ideas.

  1. Thanks again Jeff for another fascinating episode, I’m inspired to explore the possibilities of my Tilt Shift Lens!
