- 1). Move closer to your subjects and zoom out (use a shorter focal length) to make the apparent distance between the subjects larger. For instance, if you want to make it appear as if there is a vast distance between a person and a mountain in the background, stand close to the person and zoom out as far as your camera will allow.
- 2). Back away from your subject and zoom in (use a longer focal length) to compress the apparent distance between the subjects. For instance, if you want to make it appear as if a person is holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, stand far back from your subject and zoom in as far as your camera will allow. This will make the person and the tower appear to be in the same plane rather than many yards apart.
- 3). Photograph from a lower angle to change the perspective of size between two objects. The lower the angle, the larger the objects in the foreground will appear compared with the objects in the background. For instance, photograph a flower from a very low angle to make it appear to be the same height as a tree in the background.
