To photographers, “perspective” does not refer strictly to where we position ourselves relative to the subject to take a picture. A consideration for perspective should also inform our approach to posing and how we choose to render our subjects. Perspective also impacts the visual relationship between people and objects in our scene, changing the apparent depth and relative size of our subjects. It can create (or eliminate) visual blocks to the body at the point of contact, distort the face and other body parts, and even control whether someone appears dominant or submissive.
