A dutch angle is tilting your camera, and making the horizon of your photo tilted. It originated from classic German film. The reason why it is called the "Dutch" angle is from a mispronunciation -- it is actually the "Deutsch" angle. It is not related to the Dutch people or language.

For me I love the Dutch angle, because it creates a psychological uneasiness. Things feel off-kilter, unsteady, and unusual.
