Some objects can appear to be pretty dramatic if they’re photographed from a low angle. For example, an image of a skyscraper taken from ground level with the camera pointing upwards can make the skyscraper look pretty dramatic.
But it can also make it look pretty intimidating, depending on your attitude to society. If you believe that your life is mostly controlled by big business a skyscraper might represent big business, so to you it might represent control, the way that big business supposedly controls our lives.
Some people believe that big business and the government control our lives. But skyscrapers are rarely perceived to represent the power of government.
It’s arguable whether big business or government really do control our lives. I’m just passing the message on - hopefully you’re familiar with the old saying `don’t shoot the messenger.’

Let’s explore the idea that photographing an object with a view to making it look pretty dramatic can also reinforce a belief.
Does the photographer that takes a picture of a skyscraper from a low angle do so partly for dramatic reasons but also because it reinforces his belief that big business controls his life, and everyone elses’ lives?
This might be the case. Photographers usually have a motive for taking a picture - sometimes several motives. It’s quite possible that the photographer who takes a low angle image of a skyscraper is satisfying a desire to prove to himself - and other people - that his belief is correct.
If so, for him a skyscraper isn’t just an object to be photographed from a certain angle, it’s also an object of desire.
