Go back to the basics, it is actually quite simple.
There is a right-handed coordinate system,
the same in ITK and VTK.
You must put your camera in a location in space,
(defined in term of that coordinate system)
aim the camera to a point in space
(defined in term of that coordinate system)
orient the camera to have a vertical direction
(defined in term of that coordinate system)
Then you can start populating your scene.
