Station point

A station point is a location or vantage point from which an artist or exhibitor intends an observer to experience an artwork. ^[1]

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^[2] 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.
