This is a question in the curriculum of the New York Institute of Photography, and I can't figure out why. Seek an answer

I am a photographer. I'm trying to explain this feeling.

This point in the new picture is to explain the imaging difference between perspective of wide-angle shooting and background compression of telephoto shooting.

When shooting things with a wide-angle lens, because of its strong perspective, the imaging around the lens will be distorted (larger than the actual scale), while the imaging in the center is normal, so the human eye will naturally recognize larger objects as "close to itself" and smaller objects as "far from itself", because when shooting objects with a wide angle, even if they are actually close to themselves, the photos look far away.

When shooting distant objects with telephoto lens, because the central image is in the depth of field and the background is blurred, and because of the long distance, natural perspective will make the foreground bigger and the background smaller, so the human eye will naturally recognize the larger object as "close to itself" and the smaller object as "far from itself", and because the main body of telephoto shooting is the central object, we feel as if it is closer ~
