Perspective

[nikos79]

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?

I think you are talking about form.

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.

Do you mean belly button view more specifically?

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

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

very interesting story. Could he color them too?

For me, the camera to subject distance with a 50mm lens is most important decision I make for any photograph.

That is when the TLR is placed on the ground.

These denotations probably cover the space below eye-level and above eye-level. So worm`s eye view is below eye-level, but not only on the ground. On bird`s eye view you also could ask how high the bird is flying, so this term should cover everything above eye-level.
But if you want to differentiate

Do you mean belly button view more specifically?

you could say so in this case.

 

[Alan Edward Klein]

Worm's eye perspective.

 

[Harry Callahan]

Yes.
