Portuguese term or phrase: que perspectiva uma visão distanciada
Assim, as paisagens de X enquadram-se num género que deve ser entendido aqui como assunto e motivo, mas também como modelo de visualidade, como cultura de enquadramento – um modelo de imagem **que perspectiva uma visão distanciada** e que assume como regra um carácter fixo, geometrizado, estável e autónomo. Ou seja, em cada imagem é construída a sua própria integridade unificada e cada uma totaliza e enquadra um microcosmos, sem imprevistos, obedecendo a um rigoroso sentido de composição e organização interna.

Talking about a contemporary landscape photographer who documents places through series of images. I am getting both the sense of 'at a distance' and 'detached' from 'distanciada' but can't come up with a translation that conveys this idea in an elegant form.

all help appreciated, thanks!

Explanation:
this is one option, you could use "distanced" instead of remote, but I wondered if remote might convey more of the range of allusions in the Spanish.
