20 Photographs Taken at the Exact Right Angle
Nov 28th, 2007 by admin
They say timing is everything, but some photographs (such as these) become brilliant or hilarious because both the timing and the angle work out just right. Sometimes this means catching people or objects lined up perfectly at the ideal moment. Other times these are staged for maximum effect. Here are 20 examples of photos taken at the exact right angle.
Illusions of Distance: These can be anything from poetic to comedic or even crass, as the above images demonstrate. Almost always such shots are staged, but sometimes in public you might catch just the right elements in alignment to create an accidental masterpiece of art or humor.
Impossible People and Animals: these can be silly or sublime, depending upon the subject, but almost inevitably result in a confused double-take. We all know what people can and can’t do, how they are built, what the limits of the human body are, yet some images challenge the brain and create illusions.
The Art of Juxtaposition: a set of objects, people and/or animals behaving normally independently can take on a new life entirely when properly juxtaposed in a picture. What might seem like very ordinary behavior, from grabbing a magazine to stretching for a job, can take on a new and strange meaning when captured on film from just the right angle.

Very nice. I remember when that picture of the ballet dancer was in the paper (”Richmond Times Dispatch”), then it was on Jay Leno, and a few more places before I ran across it again here.
Nice collection..

Cool colelction, I saw some of them, but some are really amazing. Thanks for a morning laugh.
amazing photographs! great angles.
Fun! Thanks for the smile/laugh.
I don’t get the last one….what???
In that first picture, which is my favorite - is that Dick Cheney’s cat?
I don’t get the one with the woman blowing smoke. What’s up with it? It looks normal… to me.
Lenny,
You know what, I am really starting to wonder whether it really was Cheney who shot that day, or was it his cat?
A conspiracy maybe?
Lets theorize.
please send me new photo
Dear Ones,
Thanks for your beautiful and wonderful pictures.
I want to add some word regarding Mr. Andrew question ( No. 13 of 03.12.2007 ) about the women who blowing smoke. If i’m right, i want to say that in fact said woman is not smoking and the appeared smoke is for the end of picture, near to building.
Anyway, wish you all success.
