Perspective

But the artist - whether painter, sculptor, carver, or photographer makes a conscious decision about what the view can or will see. I guess I don't understand why you think photography is different. Perhaps you could clarify?

In my perspective perspective also does depend on perspective.

It`s a vague term, that`s the problem. And the youtube-guys actually talk about object distortion you can get with a wide-angle lens - but call it perspective - because perspective also can mean a subjective perception. Same section of a subject taken with a wide-angle lens will appear different, because a wide-angle lens does distort.
When these youtube-guys claim a different foal length to change "perspective" they actually mean a change in subjective perception of the subject.
But as they're youtube-guys they either don`t know better or have to keep it simple to get clicks. So they use a term everybody knows, everybody has a "feeling" for, because you know...
...perspective also does depend on perspective.



Yes, as you`re changing between worm`s eye view and bird`s eye view.

I remember an interesting story about an artist born blind but who could do perspective drawings.

I thought "worm's eye" was quite appropriately chosen.
