Triangle 2

Wide triangle across the frame

Food & café

A wider triangle that spreads three items across the whole table — cup, glass and plate — so the frame reads as one scene with a story.

How to shoot it

1Side lightUse natural light from a window-side seat.
2High 45°Shoot looking down at a 45° angle from above.
32–4x zoomStay at least 2 metres from the scene and use 2–4x zoom.
4Triangle placementArrange three subjects as the points of a triangle.

Tip: Place smaller subjects at the bottom so the larger ones aren't blocked.

Using it in slay

Open slay, pick Triangle 2 from the guide picker and the overlay appears on your live viewfinder. Line your subject up with the guide using the gold crosshair, follow the height, angle and zoom above, and shoot — no cropping or editing needed. Finish the look with one of 38 built-in LUTs.
