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.
