I think this have something to do with the angles. 2 triangles joined by the same vertex. Thats the way the camera recieves the image and prints it.

We cant compare the photograph with geometry, because photography is two dimensional property,it show a 2-D view of matter it may be a human or nature. But the geometry is calculated and well versed portion of a area.

What springs to my mind is "perspective".
Look up a long road - You know the sides of the road never really meat, but when you look towards the horizon, the sides of the road DO look like they meet, making a tall thin triangle.
What angels does this apparent triangle have?
How long do the sides appear to be?
Well, you get the idea. Just imagine looking at a house. You know the basic shape is a rectangle, but if you look at it sideways, then it looks more like a trapezium.
Many great artists have been fascinated with perspective and Leonardo da Vinci did a lot of work on perspective and geometery
I hope this helps!

When you take a picture of a landscape, you reproduce the objects at a much smaller size. You couldn't fit a whole mountain and a whole tree on a small 4x6 paper. This means you're using proportions to reproduce the images. We use proportions in geometry for things like verifying similarity of triangles.
