Types of Perspective in Photography

This linear picture is creating a 3D space in a 2D surface, lines converge to a vanishing point.

This rectilinear picture is composed of straight lines that appear straight in the composition, but not curved as in false perspective.

This is a false perspective picture and the lines near the center of the image are straight, while lines near the left and right edges are curved which are produced by a fish eye lens.

This is a vanishing point perspective photo because the parallel lines meet together at a single point known as the vanishing point.

Height perspective is the closer an object is placed toward the horizon line, the farther away it appears and the greater its height perspective.

Overlap perspective is when objects that partially cover another object appears closer creating a sense of depth.

I not only picked this picture because they are horses, which is my favorite animal, but for it to describe dwindling size perspective. The horse that is up close is much larger than the horse in the background, but they are the same type of animal so their size is about the same.

 This is a volume perspective photo because the strong shadows give a sense of the form of an object, the distance between shadows of many objects give a sense of depth.

This atmospheric photo gives the effect of objects that are farther away being hazy, the contrast, brightness, saturation and sharpness all decrease.

This picture of a bird's-eye view is done very nicely because of it being so high up in the air, the small buildings look flat while the very tall buildings look almost 3-D and pointed.

This worm's eye view is the opposite of bird;s eye, a view from below, often used to achieve three vanishing points.

This picture is of forced perspective. The distance that this person is standing, helps them to pull-off the illusion of it looking like the water is coming out of the water bottle but the water is really coming from a water fall.
