Dwindling Size Perspective by Janette
Viewers make an assumption, in photos, that objects in the front are taller because you are closer to them and objects in the back are smaller because they are further away. Therefore, when subjects of familiar size are included in a photograph, they help to establish the scale of the picture so the viewer can visualize the approximate size of the objects in the picture.
