Perspective is determined entirely by the position of the photographer relative to the subject. There will be no difference in perspective if you zoom in with the phone to get the same angle of view you get with a 50mm lens on a full frame camera.
Here is one of many explanations of this you can find online: https://www.photoreview.com.au/tips/shooting/perspective-and-focal-length/#:~:text=Many%20photographers%20have%20the%20impression,camera%20position%20or%20viewpoint%20changes https://www.photoreview.com.au/tips/shooting/perspective-and....
- photonerd 3y agoFrom the article: > Changing the lens focal length without changing the camera position has no impact upon the perspective in the scene, even though it radically alters the size of objects within the scene Radically altering the size of objects within the scene is what most average people mean by perspective. It’s exactly the effect the author of the article is claiming doesn’t happen yet he proved it does immediately. Is that technically the correct usage of the term perspective? Yes! It’s just not the specific technical usage definition common in optics. But it is correct, as it’s referencing the relative size & position of objects.
