The technique that we used to take this picture was using a low angle to show status and put emphasis on the content within the foreground and background. This was done by the placing of each person and the way in which one person is in the background higher up on the page than the two in the foreground who are lower down but closer to the camera. The reasoning for this is because it puts more emphasis on the people in the foreground implying that they are of more importance than the person in the background. The low angle technique gives the image more character because it is not at a stationary position and allows more setting to be visualised in the picture without taking focus off the people.
