The above photo is a picture of John F. Kennedy's hands that was taken by Cornell Capa. The picture below is a picture I took of a miniature statue given to be my Latin teacher/adviser during my senior year of high school.
Both these pictures rely heavily on vantage point. By utilizing vantage point correctly, one can make their subject seem much more important, larger, smaller, etc. than what they actually are. In Capa's picture he uses vantage point to make Kennedy's hands seem huge, giving Kennedy a very important role in the captured scene while showing him in a way that also makes him seem much bigger than he actually is. By utilizing vantage point in my photo I made my one foot tall miniature statue appear life size. By doing so I not only increased its significance, but also made it appear to be human.
