When looking at photos, there are some that leave a lasting impression, not because of technical perfection but because they resonate with the heart. This is often due to the photographer’s strong “perspective” being reflected in the image. Perspective isn’t about the direction of the camera but rather about “what you feel and how you see.” In this article, we’ll explore the charm of photos with perspective and share tips on how to develop it.

Perspective Begins with “How You Feel”
You don’t need to be able to put into words why you think something is “good.” That feeling itself is already your perspective. By asking yourself, “Why does this catch my attention?” you can discover your unique approach to photography. Perspective grows through the accumulation of such sensory experiences.

Photography Is About “Choosing”
A photo with perspective is one where it’s clear “what to include and what to leave out.” The act of selecting something from a chaotic scene is already an expression of perspective.

The choice of what to capture and which moment to preserve determines the power of a photograph.
Perspective Can Be Shared
Photos with perspective offer a “gateway to a story” that resonates with viewers. Even if it’s a familiar scene to others, seeing it through someone else’s perspective can make it feel fresh and new.
