Station point

A '''station point''' is a location or vantage point from which an artist or exhibitor intends an observer to experience an artwork. <ref>Michael LaForte [https://web.archive.org/web/20200805083506/http://www.studiolaforte.com/laforteclasses/perspective-terms-and-definitions.html Perspective Terms and Definitions] (archived) from Studio LaForte</ref>

In photography, the station point is the location of the camera at the point in time when the camera records a view to a recording medium.

In traditional graphical perspective, '''oculus''' (abbreviated ''O'') denotes the point<ref>Kirsti Andersen (2007) ''The Geometry of an Art'', p. xxix, Springer, {{ISBN|0-387-25961-9}}</ref> in space where a viewer sees a scene to be portrayed on a picture plane. When depiction of a scene is taken over by a camera with photography, the "eye point" or oculus becomes the station point.
