Macro Photography


Types of Perspective in Photography


Linear Perspective:

This photo shows linear perspective because the elements of the scene diminish in size. As you look further back, you can see the buildings getting smaller and smaller.



Rectilinear Perspective:

Rectilinear perspective is shown in in this photo because the lines are straight with really no effects of perception.


False Perception:

This photo shows false perspective because it's not how the human eye usually sees. The scene in the photo appears to be slightly rounded or seen through a "fish-eye" lens.


Vanishing Point Perspective:

The lines in this photo come together as perception goes on, creating a feeling that the objects in the photo go far back; creating a vanishing point perspective.


Height Perspective:

In this photo, there in no clear distinction to how far the ground is from the point of view, therefore, this is an example of high perspective.



Overlap Perspective:

Both pyramids are in the same line of sight in the photo, but the first pyramid overlaps over the second; and the even smaller pyramids overlap over the first.



Dwindling Size:

As perspective goes back, the objects, in this case crayons, appear to be getting smaller and smaller; especially with the first crayon so up close to the camera. This creates a dwindling size effect.



Volume Perspective:

Though you really cannot decipher the definite volume of the shapes in this photo, the way the light hits the objects help you see the three dimensional form.



Atmospheric Perspective:

The farther away and the higher up the picture is taken, the more visible the air particles become in the photo, giving it a hazy look.



Birds-Eye View:

The point of perspective in this photo is very high up, giving it a "birds-eye" view.



Worms-Eye View:

This picture is taken from a perspective that is very close to the ground; from a worm's perspective.



Forced Perspective:

This photo is purposely set up to make it look like the girl is eating the car. In the positioning of the objects and people, it creates an illusion.
