Why landscape photography suits AI video

Landscapes are about scale, and a slow camera move reveals scale. Panning across a wide photo gives viewers the sense of looking out over the scene, which suits a portfolio, a print shop or a travel blog.

What to put in your photo

  • A wide, sharp photo with a clear foreground, middle and background
  • Dramatic light, such as sunrise, sunset or storm light
  • A level horizon

An example you can adapt

Example photo: A foggy pine forest with a mountain behind it at sunrise.

Sound and camera

  • Pan left or right for wide vistas; slow zoom in on a distant peak
  • Cinematic or Calm music lets the picture speak
  • 4K is worth it on a large display; 9:16 for phones

Mistakes to avoid

  • Over-processed HDR photos, which can look unreal when they move
  • Tight crops that leave the camera nothing to reveal
