Perspective

One-Point Perspective: As things recede into the distance they appear smaller. I don’t know why this is but I know it’s important for interpreting depth and understanding where things sit in space.

Here are some images that express this phenomenon. I find these images to be especially interesting from a compositional standpoint; irresistible and captivating. It’s almost as if our eyes are magnetically drawn to the point where things converge. What a valuable compositional tool!

Two-Point Perspective: Two-point perspective is like an argument between two vanishing points.
