Hi! I rarely see photos that look good by introducing (either a lot or just a little) tilt. Granted, I don’t look at a lot of professional photos, and I’m more talking about typical amateur photos. So my question is: is there a situation where introducing tilt is beneficial? Or am I right in my intuition to just avoid tilt when taking photos?

    It’s generally used artistically to show tension or unease.

    Exclusively use Dutch angle when passerby tourists ask for a photo 😈😈😈

      When I ask people for photos at tourist spots about 90% of the time I get dead center framing where you can barely see anything behind me. The worst I ever got was when I was framed head to toe to the point where you even could see the deck of the overlook I was standing on and like 10% of the amazing background.

      Makes me wonder if people check their phones after asking me for a photo and wondering why tf they’re at the corner of one of the thirds of the photo instead of the middle.
