Telephoto compression

Telephoto compression (also known as lens compression or perspective compression) is the apparent visual effect in photography and cinematography in which distant objects appear larger relative to nearby objects, making the distance between them appear reduced. The effect is commonly associated with the use of long-focal length (telephoto) lenses, although it is primarily caused by the camera's increased distance from the subject rather than the optical properties of the lens itself.
