Perspective
The transformation of a three-dimensional scene into a two-dimensional image is accomplished through the application of perspective. Converging lines in a landscape, for instance, might be used to give the impression that there is more space behind the subject of the photograph. We are able to perceive the size of things and the distance that separate them through the use of perspective, which is relative to the viewpoint of the camera.
