You change your focal length and it crops in on her and the image looks 'compressed'. (Because the lines of sight converge on a lens, and a focal length is just an angle of view, which is a crop essentially,  ....,) Thats all there is to it  All the examples one sees of telephoto effect or compression are just a combination of altered proximity to the subject and a crop, if you include it -- in the form of an altered focal length.</blockquote>
