In pet or dog photography, because I am usually dealing with a critter much smaller and shorter than myself, it is common to switch between high-angle and eye-level (their eye level) shots.
a high angle shot refers to when the camera is located above the eyeline, looking downwards at the subject
For this set of photos, the ones on the left show the high-angle shots; the ones on the right show my dog, Donna’s, point of view.
