Photos Leave Home comes up with a new quote discussing how photography changes the way we see:

Heidegger analyses this as the "conquest of the modern world for perspective" and perspectival forms of knowing.

That makes Heidegger sound like the Brunelleschi of philosophy.

I'm more familiar with this from The Age of the World Picture:

The fundamental event of the modern age is the conquest of the world as picture. The word "picture" [Bild] now means the structured image [Gibild] that is the creature of man’s producing which represents and sets before. In such producing, man contends for the position in which he can be that particular being who gives the measure and draws up the guidelines for everything that is.
P. 134

It's also about perspective, but not the spacial kind.  ¶ 11:11 PM
