Photography and Perspective

Part 1

Portrait Perspective

Close-up portrait taken from a short distance
Photo A

Close Distance

The camera is near the subject, so facial features look more distorted.

Portrait taken from farther away with a zoomed lens
Photo B

Stepped Back

Moving farther away gives a more natural look.

Perspective changes because of camera distance, not because of zoom.

Part 2

Street Compression

Street scene photographed from a far position with zoom
Photo C

Far and Zoomed

Objects appear flatter and closer together.

Street scene photographed from a closer position
Photo D

Closer Position

The scene keeps more natural depth and separation.

A long shooting distance compresses the scene.

Part 3

Projection Types

Perspective projection with visible convergence lines
Perspective

Perspective Projection

Parallel lines appear to meet at vanishing points.

Orthographic-style projection with preserved parallel lines
Orthographic

Orthographic-Style View

Parallel lines stay parallel and the view looks flatter.

Perspective projection is closer to how a normal camera sees the world.
