   Ahem. There's at least one case where he photographed, for one of his   
   books, some graphics carved into stone in a cave in some South   
   American mountain from a perspective that was impossible to view   
   with your eyes if you stood there. Must have used some crane construction   
   to hold the camera. Impossible to falsify if you didn't travel there yourself   
   to view the original.   
      
   Turned by 90 degrees(iirc), you might interpret it as an astronaut   
   inside a flying machine. Viewed normally, it was some guy with   
   decorative clothing crouching.   
      
   Ask me 50 years ago if you want details.   
      
   So you're very right, he viewed things, deliberately, from a different   
   perspective.
