The perspective visible in your photos is determined by one thing only - where the photo was taken from.
Whether or not a subject in the centre of the field of view fills the film area, or is just a small item at the centre, is determined by the angle of view of the lens, which in turn is determined by the combination of the focal length and your film format.
If you want compression, you have to take your photo from a distance. If you take your photo from a distance, and want to have a smaller subject fill the frame, you need to use a longer lens.
If you use your feet to "zoom", i.e. walk closer to have your subject fill the frame, the relationship between objects at different distances will change - the perspective changes.
As an example, a closely cropped head shot portrait tends to look better if shot from a distance with a longer lens, because if you shooot it closer with a shorter lens the nose looks relatively large and the ears look relatively small.
Hope this helps.
