Unexpected perspectives
Perspective

Macro photography
To create a shallow depth of field so that the background appears blurred, simply focus on an object close to the camera.
By blurring the background you’re emphasizing the part of the scene that’s in focus. The viewer’s eye will be drawn to the clear and sharp subject in the foreground.
-
Shoot through a frame.
Framing objects could include doors, windows, archways and holes.
A frame doesn’t necessarily have to be a constructed object, and it doesn’t have to go around all four edges of the image.
-
Forced perspective.
Forced perspective is a photographic optical illusion generally used to make two or more objects appear closer or further away, or of a different size than reality.
-
Linear, rectangular and vanishing point.
The farther away an object is from the human eye, the smaller it becomes.
It may seem even smaller if there is an object in the foreground that looks larger because of the relationship between those two objects.
Straight lines
Any lines in an image will appear to converge the farther away from the viewer's eye they are or as they approach the horizon in the distance.
Relative size
When an object becomes more distant, it appears smaller than the one which is closer to the viewer.
Birds eye view
An elevated view of an object from above, with a perspective as though the observer were a bird.
-
Capturing tall buildings from a high viewpoint can create the illusion that they’re much smaller than they really are.
Tilt-Shift
Only a strip of the photo is in sharp focus. The rest of the photo (the foreground and background) is blurred.
-
Worms eye view
A worm's-eye view is a view of an object from below, as though the observer were a worm; the opposite of a bird's-eye view.
-
If you have a distracting background in your scene, shooting from a low angle is an easy way to eliminate those distractions by using the sky as your backdrop.
-
The diminishing effect.
Find a location that has a repetition of objects, such as a row of trees, lamp posts or along a wall and shoot down through the repetitions.
To really make the most of the scenario, get right up close to the first object in the line, making it appear very large within the frame.
This gives the impression that there is a significant reduction in size through the repeated objects, with the final object appearing insignificant compared to the first.
