Low angle shooting has always had a bad wrap, it's typically discouraged especially with people. Here's an example of a low angle image that works. The key is not to see "up the nose" or add "chins." You have to get the angle of the image plane just right. It's tricky but you can do it. I'm about 3 feet below them, with the camera bracket in hand.
I really like to shoot very low angle when possible. I will literally put the feet of my camera bracket on the ground and track the subject by turning the camera left and right until I feel the shot and "wham", it's there. Auto focus is best but manual focus works great especially if the subject matter is in a consistent spot.
