Atmospheric perspective

Atmospheric perspective is a technique artists and photographers use to create a sense of depth in a scene. It occurs because particles like dust, moisture, and pollutants in the air scatter light, especially the blue and distant wavelengths. As a result, objects that are far away appear lighter, less detailed, and more bluish or hazy compared to closer objects. This visual effect helps the viewer perceive distance and the spatial relationship between objects, mimicking how our eyes naturally see the world. It enhances realistic depth and dimension in artworks and images.
