Sometimes, we generate an image that captures exactly what we want, yet something about the perspective feels a bit off. Maybe it’s a portrait that would look more powerful from below, or a cityscape that would be more dramatic from above. Tengr.ai’s newly launched Camera Angle selector is here to help.
No more writing complex camera instructions in your prompts – now you can change perspectives with just a few clicks. This exciting new feature makes your Tengr.ai experience even more user-friendly, intuitive, and enjoyable.
By letting you control the perspective of your images easily, it adds dimension, drama, and focus to your creations.
So, whether you’re going for a dramatic Worm’s eye view, an intimate Close-up, or a breathtaking Aerial shot, Tengr.ai made it easier than ever. Keep on reading to find out all there is to know about the new Camera Angle feature.
The Power of Camera Angles
We previously explored various camera angles in a blog post and discussed the importance of camera angles in AI-generated images. If you missed it, check it out here.
First of all, camera angles have a bigger role than you’d think. Basically, think of camera angles as your storytelling compass. They guide viewers through your image, determine what they focus on first, and most importantly, influence how they feel about the subject. More than just a simple perspective, they’re emotional tools as well, being able to transform a simple portrait into a powerful statement.
For example, a Worm’s Eye view can make a subject look powerful and intimidating, while an Aerial view can reveal patterns and the grandeur of a landscape, in a way you’d never see from the ground.
Camera angles can shape the entire narrative of your image. The right angle can tell a story. So, don’t hold back from using them in your images.
Tengr.ai’s Camera Angle selector lets you choose from 8 unique angles, so you can bring your visions to life. It’s intuitive, easy to use, and works seamlessly in Text-to-Image generation. Let’s take a closer look at how you can use this tool to elevate your creations.
Using the Camera Angle Selector
The first and most important thing to mention is that the Camera Angle selector only works in Text-to-Image generation. While it’s not possible to change the camera angle of an existing image yet, in Text-to-Image mode it’s a highly useful tool.
The Camera Angle selector works exclusively in Default, Portraiture, Photographer, and Analog styles.
Using this feature saves you from having to add a lot of complex technical terms, explanations, and descriptions to your prompt. You just have to choose one of the camera angles included in the new dropdown menu.
The Camera Angle selector is designed for simplicity. Since version 0.9, it’s been part of Tengr.ai’s growing toolkit, alongside features like the Color Tone selector and Transparent style, perfectly accessible for beginners and advanced AI art creators as well. Here’s how to get started:
- Write your text prompt as usual, but think about what perspective you want your subject to be seen from.
- Select the camera angle from the dropdown menu labeled ‘Camera Angle’. Choose your preferred angle from Close-Up, Eye Level, Low Angle, High Angle, Worm’s Eye, Bird’s Eye, Fish-Eye, or Aerial View.
- After adjusting all other settings based on your preference, press ‘Generate’ and watch your vision come to life.
As you see, it’s very simple, it takes only a few clicks to add these angles to your images.
Even the adorable squirrel icons perfectly illustrate the perspective of each angle, making it easier to visualize their effect. Let’s see what else we need to know about these angles.
Practical Tips
- Avoid mentioning details in your prompt that could deter the camera angle from working properly! Specific camera instructions in your text can interfere with Tengr.ai’s Camera Angle selector, so it’s important to keep this in mind.
- Consider what you want to convey before choosing an angle. Remember that certain angles can completely change the emotional impact of your AI-generated image.
- Whether it’s to convey drama, scale, or intimacy, know your goal and select the angle that aligns with it.
- Consider your subject when choosing an angle – not every angle works for every subject. Some subjects shine in a Worm’s eye view, while others work better with Eye Level or Bird’s Eye view.
- And, remember that the Camera Angle selector is exclusively available in the previously mentioned Default, Portraiture, Photographer, and Analog styles.
Tengr.ai’s Camera Angle Collection
1. Close Up
Perfect for capturing smaller details and emotions. It creates a sense of intimacy by revealing textures, expressions, and fine details that might be missed from further away.
Close-ups are great for highlighting specific details, showing textures, and for portraits.
Here are a few examples:
Here are a few more adorable close-ups:
2. Eye Level
This one is the most relatable and engaging angle. It creates a sense of connection and equality with the subject and gives us the feeling of looking straight into their eyes. It’s the most natural angle, the camera being at the same height as the subject’s eyes.
This can make the subject more approachable, making it perfect for portraits, street photography, and everyday, realistic scenes.
3. Low Angle
Shot from below eye level, looking up at the subject from a low angle. It’s excellent for making your subject appear powerful and dominating, plus it emphasizes height and scale. It adds drama, power, and grandeur to a scene. This makes it perfect for architectural images as well.
4. High Angle
This angle is the opposite of a low-angle shot in the sense that it looks down at the subject from above, but not as extreme as a Bird’s Eye view. This angle can create a sense of vulnerability, making the subject appear smaller, weaker, or inferior. Plus, it can also reveal the relationship of the subject with the scene.
5. Worm’s Eye
The most extreme low angle, shot from ground level looking up. This dramatic perspective makes the subject appear gigantic, or even intimidating, creating a sense of wonder or disorientation. The subject appears towering, and imposing, making the whole scene highly dramatic. Just like the low-angle shot, this one is perfect for architecture and tall subjects.
6. Bird’s Eye
Looking straight down from above, this angle reveals new patterns and perspectives that we can only observe from above.
It’s ideal for showing patterns and scale from a high angle, giving a complete overview of the scene. Great for landscapes, cityscapes, and large crowded scenes.
7. Fish-Eye
This unique perspective creates a spherical, ultra-wide view with curved edges. Great for creating fun surreal effects, capturing large scenes in a single shot, and adding a creative touch to panoramic landscapes. With the specific curvature of the fish-eye lens, images created with this effect have a distorted, unique, psychedelic look and atmosphere. It’s kind of like a distorted reality.
To achieve the best Fish Eye effect possible, use the 16:9 aspect ratio!
8. Aerial View
Similar to the Bird’s Eye view, the aerial view provides a much wider view of the scene from an angle. While a bird’s eye view is captured from above the subject, looking straight down, an aerial view shows the ‘big picture’ like it’s seen from a drone or a helicopter, adding more context to the scene. It’s perfect for landscape images, urban scenes, and for showing complex fantasy worlds.
