Using your camera effectively

Camera position
Camera position
Try to position your camera at eye level. This will allow for a good camera angle that shows your entire face. You can use a riser or stand, or can use sturdy objects like books or boxes. If using a phone or table, a tripod or stand may help keep your camera steady. Be sure that whatever you use is stable so your camera or device doesn't shift or fall.
