Feet enable the photographer to take photos from a multitude of angles. Photographers move around their subject in order to take photos from different perspectives—which bleed into categories of tone, meaning, implication, composition, and style to synthesize the artist’s perspective. The artist’s perspective can then be interpreted differently person to person. If feet were not a tool in the photographer’s toolbox, the results of the photo-taking session would mostly consist of very stationary and one dimensional photos—limited to the single perspective of wherever the photographer happens to be standing. With feet, the photographer can get closer, further, around, behind, to the side, under, over, and on top of the subject. This opens up a plethora of possibilities for different photos with different angles!
