From above is a camera angle where you look down on the subject, so you see its top, its shadow, and the ground around it, like a bird looking down.

It is a loose angle. The model may give you anything from a slight downward tilt to a view straight down. If you want exactly 90 degrees, ask for "top-down" or "overhead". If you want a gentle tilt, "high angle" is the more precise term.

  • On people, looking down makes them seem smaller and more vulnerable. Flip to a low angle to make them look powerful.
  • Pitfall: the model often falls back to eye level. Add "looking down" to keep the angle.
