Help understanding 最高のアングルっていうのは魂の叫びなのよ


I'm unsure of how to correctly parse the below. I originally thought that it
might have had, for example, an implied part of the sentence before e.g. ここを
最高のアングルっていうのは魂の叫びなのよ。However this doesn't quite sound right to me, and if it
was going to be something like that I would have imagined って言う or って言っている
instead of っていう.

I think part of my problem is that I am not entirely clear on the meaning of
魂の叫び, and how it works in this sentence.

> 「 **最高のアングルっていうのは魂の叫びなのよ** 。ここを狙えって訴えてくるの。逆らえないのよ」




This is a metaphorical sentence, and nothing is omitted. Or perhaps you can
think ～のような ("like") is implied. 魂の叫び ("soul cry/scream") is not an idiomatic
phrase but her own tricky metaphor. Her intention is clearly explained in the
next sentence.

～というのは/～っていうのは is like an emphatic topic marker, and it's often used to
describe a definition or an important characteristic of something. For
example:

> 人生は長い旅だ。  
>  ≒人生とは長い旅だ。  
>  ≒人生というのは長い旅だ。  
>  ≒人生っていうのは長い旅だ。  
>  ≒人生っていうのは長い旅のようなものだ。
>
> Life is (like) a long journey.

With this in mind, your sentence is an example of personification:

> 最高のアングルっていうのは魂の叫びなのよ。ここを狙えって訴えてくるの。逆らえないのよ。  
>  "The best (camera) angle" is (like) a soul scream. It (= the angle itself)
> tells me "Shoot this". I cannot resist.

So, to put it plainly, she seems to be saying "good photographers don't worry
about camera angle because they can decide the right angle by intuition."
