Types of Perspective in Photography

Bird's Eye Perspective:

I chose this photo because it is shot from above, like what a bird would see if it was flying. You can only see the tops of people's heads, and not much detail.

                                                             Dwindling Size Perspective:
This photo shows crayons in a line, and they are getting smaller as the line goes down. This shows that the objects are "dwindling", thus showing the effect.

                                                                 False Perspective:
You have to look closely, but this is false perspective because the girl is bigger than the shelfs on both sides, and the ceiling is extremely low to her head. It is showing the view a perspective that is non existent.

                                                                 Forced Perspective:
This photo caught my eye, and it is very unique. This photo is an example of forced perspective because it fools your eye, and instead of the people being laid the right way in the pool, the photographer decided to flip the photo around to make it look like they were sitting up straight, rather than actually laying down.

                                                                   Height Perspective;
This photo shows a perspective involving height. It truly makes you feel small underneath the building, and it exaggerates the height of it as well for a better effect.

                                                                Linear Perspective:
I chose this photo because it shows a linear outlook. The railroad tracks take your eyes back, and they're perpendicular to the rest of the landscape.
 

                                                            Overlap Perspective:
This photo shows overlap perspective because the cocoon overlaps the trees and branches in the background. Also, the branches of the tree overlap themselves as well.

 
                                                             Rectilinear Perspective:
I decided to pick this photo for rectilinear perspective because this is a perspective that one would see if you were looking at it with a normal human eye.

 

                                                            Vanishing Point Perspective:
This photo is a cityscape and is a great example of vanishing points. There is buildings on both sides and a road that brings your eye to one point in the photo.

                          
                                                                 Volume Perspective:
This photo exaggerates the tree's leafs in the shadow underneath. The tree is voluminous to begin with, but the shadow adds more usage of space to this photo
                                  

                                                            Worm's Eye Perspective:
This photo is taken from the ground level, making it seem an insect or a worm might be looking at the tulips.

    

Atmospheric Perspective:

I chose this photo because it has a lot of space, and air. Above the water and land, there is just sky.

Iconic Photo Analysis

                                                                      Fading Away


                                            Henry Peach Robinson (English 1830-1901)

Robinson was best known for his pioneering combination printing, joining multiple negatives
to eventually form a single image. He learned the ways of photography from Dr. Hugh Diamond's instructions, which had been printed in the Journal of the Photographic Society. He unfortunately had to leave the world of dark room work due to an illness caused by toxic chemicals there. Robinson continued to be involved in the photographic world however, and wrote famous works about photography, and formed the Linked Ring, a society of photographers who grew disillusioned by the photographic establishment as represented by the Photographic Society.

This photo caught my eye right away, because it is so vintage and outdated. I felt remorse for the woman who was dying, and her loved ones that surrounded her. Besides being one of his most famous works, this picture sticks me as unique and captivating, it really made me think and wonder what was going through each person's head in the photo.

This work depicted a young girl's death, surrounded by her family. I feel as though topics such as these need to be recognized and thought about, because they can't always be ignored. Robinson, I believe, showed how each person dealt with this situation, just by their body language.
