perspective and nested elements

Why did the video say that perspective only affects direct children but photo class wasn't a direct child and it still looked 3d?

This was made possible by adding the "transform-style" property to the .photo class. This property allows us to apply and preserve the 3D spacing rule to those deeply nested elements. The property has two common values: 1) flat , and 2) preserve-3d. So in this case, the "preserve-3d" value was applied.
