After identifying the type of photograph i.e. ground or air oblique or air vertical one can go a head and identify the position of the camera when the photograph was being taken.. This can be done by following the guidelines below.

Objects nearer to the camera appear bigger and taller than those far away from the camera. As one moves away from the face of the camera, the objects appear smaller and smaller. This is typical of air obliques and ground photographs.

In air vertical photographs the objects nearer to the face of the camera would be those found in the middle or centre of the photograph and those objects far' away are smaller and are in the background

In ground photographs the photographer stands on the opposite side of the shadows of the objects.

The photographer will always stand in the same position with the sun when taking a ground photograph. The position of the photographer is shown by the shadows of the objects. If the shadows of the objects point westwards it implies that the photographer was on the east.

The part of the photograph nearer to the camera would be more clear than those far away.
