Over the last few years, I have been collecting photographs which were made by a local photographer during the early 1900's

One part of his composition have always struck me as been interesting and that is when people are in the scene, they always appear to be lower in the scene ( not at the camera level)

I can only think that he was stood on a large box but surely, they had enough weight to carry round without having to resort to carrying boxes.

Looking at the camera he used, I see no rise/fall as well.

I am also seeing similarities in other photographers work around that era

Any other thoughts on how he did this.
