The wide-angle lens is one of the common types of photographic lenses. It has a short focal length and can capture a wider scene. It has great application value in shooting landscapes, buildings, people, still lifes, etc. and has great photographic advantages.
The main advantages of wide-angle lenses in photography can be seen from the following aspects:
1.Has a wider screen coverage
The focal length of a wide-angle lens is relatively short, which allows for a wider field of view and the ability to capture wider landscapes or scenes. It is suitable for shooting large-scale scenery, buildings, city streets, etc., showing more environmental and background information, making the overall picture more open and vivid.
2.Get close to the subject and emphasize the close-up
Since wide-angle lenses have a wider viewing angle, the photographer can get closer to the subject to shoot, making the subject more prominent and impactful. At the same time, wide-angle lenses have a strong zooming effect on close-up scenes, which can highlight close objects and make them occupy a larger proportion in the picture.
When shooting exquisite still lifes, figures and other works, more details and environments can be reflected, and the layering and three-dimensional sense of the picture can be enhanced. Therefore, wide-angle lenses are suitable for shooting portraits, animals and other subjects that need to establish a sense of closeness with the audience.

3.Create a unique perspective effect
A wide-angle lens can enhance the size difference between near and far objects, magnifying the foreground and moving the background further away, thus creating a unique perspective effect, making the sense of distance in the picture more obvious, making the picture more three-dimensional and dynamic, and creating a unique visual impact.
4.Various composition possibilities
Since wide-angle lenses can capture more of the picture, they can achieve a wider variety of composition possibilities, such as close-ups and large scenes, and foreground and background combinations with strong contrast, etc., providing photographers with more creative space.

5.Create dynamic effects
A wide-angle lens can incorporate more elements into the picture, including moving objects or people. When shooting moving subjects, it can create a distorted effect, increasing the dynamics and visual impact of the picture.
6.Enhance the depth of field effect
Wide-angle lenses perform very well in terms of depth of field. They can highlight the subject and show the environment while keeping the foreground and background clear, creating a rich depth of field effect and making the picture more three-dimensional and vivid.

7.Expand creative space
The wide-angle lens has a wide field of view, which can help photographers show more details and environments in a limited space. Therefore, it can capture a wider scene in a crowded or small space, making the work more creative and imaginative. Therefore, the wide-angle lens is also suitable for shooting scenes such as interior decoration and architectural structure.
It can be seen that the wide-angle lens is a commonly used and powerful photographic tool that can bring more creative possibilities and expressive techniques to photography, and can help photographers create vivid, three-dimensional and layered works.
