A to Z Challenge - P

Perspective is one of the keys to photography composition and technique.

The term is fairly obvious, perspective is the view or direction from which you are taking a picture. But perspective can be used to a photographer's advantage if it is an artistic decision.

Perspective can also be fun! Check out these examples of using perspective artistically:
