Perspective in photography
Perspective is also a resource used in photography. It can be used to highlight the dimensions of a place or an object, focusing on distances, depending on the angle used by the photographer.
It can also be used to simulate situations that are not real, when different uses of perspective give the photograph an unrealistic result, such as an optical illusion.
These results can be achieved by taking advantage of the depth of field and the placement of the photographed elements in the photo composition.
