  • Extreme Close Up: Single small section of the face
  • Mid Long Shot: Shows full body
  • High Angle: Camera pointing down
  • Low Angle: Camera point upwards
  • Tilt Angle: Camera on an angle
  • Over The Shoulder Shot: Camera behind the model looking over the shoulder
  • Two Shot: A shot with two people
  • Very Long Shot: Shows full body and background at a distance
  • Long Shot: Full body and background

BurstShot was also useful, allowing you to capture multiple photos in a quick burst—which should be helpful in moments that you need to snap a shot at the exact right moment. Thanks a lot.
