# It's not called a French tilt, but a Dutch one > There is a term for taking a picture with a purposely tilted angle to the image. I feel like it's called the french tilt or something like that. Do you know of any such term? The term you might be thinking of is "Dutch angle" or "Dutch tilt." It refers to a technique in photography and filmmaking where the camera is intentionally tilted to create a diagonal or slanted composition. This technique is often used to convey a sense of unease, tension, or disorientation in the image. It's not specifically a "French" tilt, but rather a Dutch angle.
