Types of Perspective in Photography

Linear Perspective

Your eye is drawn to look towards the end of the tracks where the vanishing point is. The objects that are larger are closer to the viewer.

Rectilinear Perspective
 































Straight lines appear straight. 




False Perspective

The ends of the photo is rounded and the center is straight. It is not how the human eye normally sees images.

Vanishing point perspective

I chose this because the photo shows the scene disappearing in the distance.

Height Perspective

This photo shows good height perspective. You can imagine how tall the waterfall is by comparing it to the man standing next to it.

Overlap Perspective

I chose this photo because the rocks overlap each other showing their distance. The closet rock overlaps them all, rocks more overlapped are further away from the viewer.

Dwindling Size Perspective

The crayons to the right are further back from the purple crayon to the left. The purple crayon looks larger but is actually just closer to the camera. You can tell by comparing its size with the other crayons.

Volume Perspective

The photo shows difference in light. The viewer can see that the light hits from the right side of the apple. This creates shadows and volume.

Atmospheric Perspective

The picture shows light changes in the distance and fog is present in the background. The further your eye looks the more you can see the fog.

Bird's-eye View Perspective

The photograph is higher up/ from the top of a building look towards the city. It shows depth and also shows a vanishing point on the horizon. 


Worms Eye

This picture is viewed from below, shooting upwards.

Forced Perspective

This photo uses forced perspective, the man is not that large. He is closer to the camera making him look tall enough to just drop the ball in the hoop.

Iconic Phot Analysis

Lewis W. Hine
(American 1874-1940)
Ellis Island Madonna


Hine used his photographs to show poverty in New York. He studied Ellis Island immigrants. Hine's goal for his photographs was to create social reform. He was also a teacher and was critical of child labor laws. He started capturing children working in factors. In these photos he used no exaggeration.


This picture captured my eye and interested me because it is of a mother and a child. They both look concerned. The child looks very innocent and looking up at her mother. The photo does not have much color which makes it look sad.


This photo is significant because it shows how the immigrants felt. I shows how worried and concerned they were.
