Summary/Abstract: Painting arts contain numerous breaking points, starting from the early era human history as the first samples on cave walls, transforming to the modern painting arts. Despite its interaction with many art disciplines throughout its development process, it inhabits the most rooted and efficient relation with fine art photography and photographic imaging methods. The invention of photography origins in the beginning of 19th century, however the effect of photographic perspective upon painting arts consists in camera obscura and pinhole image formation methods. The perception limits of human eye, intrinsically defines the perception and explication limits for the artist. When it comes to particularly painting arts, universe perceived by eye, does not directly influence the emerging work, however the facilities of the photography techniques provide a different perspective. The artists, independent from his/her eye’s viewpoint, depth of field and resolution limits, obtains a perspective to develop the work. Our study examines the effects of the wide-angle photographic perspective, which anomalously provides an opportunity for ratio and proportion, to the figurative paintings about human body in the painting arts.
