Lay Flat Photography

1. Bird's eye view, Becoming the subject, Eye level, and Worm's eye view.

2. Bird's eye view is a higher perspective (above ground) view. Becoming the subject is a perspective from the main subject, eye level is a middle ground flat level, and worm's eye view is a below ground lower view. 

3. "it's all in the details" and "adding textures" is advised. 

4. A box with a skull on it and various assortments of food.
5. Many but it depends on how it's framed and the main subject. 

6. Art supplies on my desk, a painting, a book, a field of flowers. 

7. Trying not to have a distracting background and having an obvious main focus.
