distortion of perspective

Distortion of perspective refers to the way an image or scene appears altered from its true proportions due to the angle, lens, or distance from which it is viewed. For example, wide-angle lenses can make objects close to the camera look much larger, while those far away seem smaller, creating an exaggerated sense of depth. Similarly, viewing a subject from an unusual angle can change how we perceive its size and shape. This effect can be intentional, as in photography or art, to emphasize certain elements, or unintentional, causing a misleading impression of spatial relationships.
