They say shooting a child from bird’s eye level isn’t flattering for the young ones. Perhaps one reason for this no-no is because kids just don’t look natural if their foreheads are wrinkled? This shot is certainly taken from above but the expression and body language is clearly of a child. I think this one can be an exception!

Sophie would love it if I just handed her my camera and let her do as she wishes!
