Why should you take a knee, squat, sit down or otherwise get down to the eye level of a child when taking photographs?

Answer:

To get a direct angle. If you are tall and the child is tiny, you don't want a picture to be too high above their head. The child can look directly at the camera. Hope this helps? Are there answer choices for this?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You should do these things because children are usually smaller than the person taking the photograph. So to make the person looking at the photo feel like they are right next to the child playing along with them, you want to go make the camera eye level with the child. I believe this adds more character to a photo.
