GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Marketing - Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
German term or phrase: Aufsicht (Kontext)
Es geht um die Fotografie von Produkten für einen Werbekatalog.

Pro Doppelseite inszenieren wir variierende, angedeutete lifestylige Umfelder, wie zum Beispiel ein Kaffeetisch, Sofa, etc. Spannung entsteht durch die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven (Aufsicht/Frontal, etc). Die Produkte bleiben dabei klar und scharf im Vordergrund, das Umfeld wird zitiert.

Heißt Aufsicht in diesem Kontext, dass das Objekt/Produkt von oben fotografiert wird, bzw. gibt es dafür einen eng. Fachbegriff?

Bin für jede Hilfe dankbar.

view from above


Explanation:
In the US a 'view from above' is more likely to be used in advertising than 'top view,' which is considered more as looking down from the highest vantage point possible.
