It is said that a beginner photographer will use a wide angle lens to get the most into their photograph. As they begin to understand what interests them they start using longer and longer lenses to then start to isolate their subject. Even when they switch back to a wide angle lens they still are very specific in what is included in their photograph. You can often tell how developed an artist is by what they include in their art-and what they don’t. Everyone has a different perspective. A true artist can demonstrate their perspective in their work. As they mature they begin developing style. I look for this when I look at art.

I put together some ideas to help the photographer see.
