Overhead Flatlay

Overhead flatlay shots are captured from a direct bird's-eye angle, usually 90 degrees above a flat surface like a table, desk, or floor, so every object reads as shape, color, and texture without perspective distortion. This composition depends on deliberate arrangement: negative space, grid alignment, and consistent lighting (often soft and shadowless) matter more than depth or focal blur. You'll find it heavily used for food spreads, desk setups, product bundles, and styled still lifes where the goal is a clean, graphic read of everything at once.
