UNIT 35 Types of perspectives in photography

Types of perspectives in photography

Perspective: - The art of representing three-dimensional objects on a two dimensional surface, to give me the right impression of weight, width, height and position. 

Forced perspective is a technique that gives the illusion that an object can appear closer, farther, larger or smaller than the object is. This technique is normally used in photography, film making and architecture. Forced perspective can also be used in tourist shots for comedic effect such as when it is used with the leaning tower of Pisa or the Eiffel tower. 

Linear perspective is where parallel lines recede in to the distances to appear to get closer together or converge in to a vanishing point. Train tracks are a good example of this because you can see the tracks all the way until their vanishing point.

Dwindling perspective is when all the objects are the same size but get smaller at a distance.Things such as trees, poles, people etc are used when doing dwindling perspective.

Ariel perspective or also known as atmospheric perspective is the effect that the atmosphere has on an objects appearance when it is viewed from a distance, as the distance gets greater the contrast of the details within the object decreases.
