While a camera is a pretty important tool for a photographer, their feet are just as important.

To change the perspective of a picture, you need to move physically.

Yes, you can use specific lenses and settings, but it’s artificial. It can almost be like a lie.

There’s a huge difference between the feel of a zoom lens photo and a photo where the photographer moved to authentically capture the subject.

For this project, I sacrificed my neck to get a picture of Redwood’s clock tower.

I have a condition that makes my joints hypermobile, so it probably wasn’t the best thing for me to use this method, but it came out pretty good, in my opinion, at least.
