Types of Perspective in Photography

Linear Perspective

This is linear perspective because the photo shows the walls converging to a single point.



Rectilinear Perspective

This is rectilinear perspective because the lines of the wooden path do not appear to curve at all, the lines are completly straight.

False Perspective

False perspective is like fish-eye view, there is a center horizontal line in the center and the other lines curve to look rounded off the line.

Vanishing Point

Vanishing point perspective is when all lines go back to a single point like in the photo.

Height

Height perspective is when the object in the backround has greater height perspective than the object in the front.

Overlap

Overlap is when objects in the front appear to be on top or overlapping objects in the back creating a feel of the objects being closer than they really are.

Dwindling Size

This is when the the viewer is aware of the size of the object, but the perception of the objects makes it look as if the objects are becoming smaller.

Volume

Volume Perspective is when the light in the photo creates new depth and volume in the object.

Atmospheric

This is an example of atmospheric because the air is visible in the background although we can't normal see air. You can tell because the contrast, saturation, and sharpness decrease the further away the objects are.

Bird's Eye View

In this photo you are able to see the what the scene would look like from the point of view of a bird flying over the focus of the photo.

Worm's Eye View

 Opposite from bird's eye view, worm's eye view at ground level looking up at the subject of the photo.

Forced Perspective

Forced Perspective takes advantage of the environment, objects, or people to make an allusion without using Photoshop.

Peer Critique

For my critique, I have chosen Alexis's digital typography. She used the word "mystery" with a photo of a brick building and a pine tree. The photo is in black and white and the font is an abstract block font. Value is an element she uses making the photo black and white. Texture is also used, seem in the bricks of the building and the pines of the tree. It is organized so that the work does give off a feeling of mystery.  The word, color, and the brick building make me believe the building is haunted, or just very mysterious. It makes you wonder what is inside and what the building even is. Is it a house? Cabin? Or something else. I find this work to be very successful. It is the essence of mystery, from the color to the font.

Iconic Photo Critic

Clarence H. White (American, 1871-1925)

Morning,1908

His modernistic art photography became a national scene in the late 1800's. He was one of the most influential photography teachers, who taught other famous photographers. He opened up a school in 1914 and had been a photographing for over two decades before opening the school.

This photo interests me because it makes you wonder why she is out there, what she is doing, and I like the scene in general. It is fogging giving a mood of mystery. I like the contrast of the black and white.

With all the advances in technology during this time, the photo is simple and of nature. Although the women in the photo is not centered, she is still the focal point in the work because of her white dress. The photo is in the morning to represent the new era in America.
