Not getting close enough

As photojournalist Robert Capa famously noted: “If your photographs aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” With this in mind, it’s easy to feel disheartened if you find yourself in a situation where you’re lacking in focal length. While it’s true that frame-filling shots have impact, they’re not always an option. Cropping an image can get you that full-frame impact – albeit at the expense of image size – but why not try composing shots so that your subject is positioned within the environment, rather than isolated from it?
