tilt camera technique ?

I do it occasionally, when it suits the composition. I think it's really another fad that will look VERY dated in a few years, so if you're thinking of doing a few, don't over do it. There are some photographers who tilt seemingly EVERY picture....

It's kinda like a fisheye lens; the results can be really stunning if used in just the right way for just the right reason. It can look like crap if not.

I'm finding I'm starting to tilt the camera a lot - I'm trying to break myself of the habit, but it almost is like natural to me now.

What do you guys think? Too much tilt?

For my personal tastes, tilt can work when tighter on your subject. It gives a candid almost stolen look to a portrait. I like the tilt in your last image. It almost works for me on #2. For my eye and tastes, even though I know it was done intentionally, the tilt on all the remaining images looks more like a mistake.

The first three images are great, but I would rather see them straight. The lines created by the walls and tables make it look not as good. The last few are nice, though.

I agree with everything Peacefield has to say. Tilt is acceptable with moving subjects because it enhances the motion effect as with the couple coming down the isle. The portrait of the bride is also a good example because it is informal and does not detract from the subject. I also works with the second of the couple. Since these examples are from a wedding, imagine how awkward the finished album spread would look if it consisted of #1, #3 and #4. I think tilting totally distracts from the final layout with pictures going in all directions and definately does not add value.
