How To Make Big Look BIG

BIG WHEELS

This is a really big truck. But it could easily look small in a picture. I have used two techniques here to make it look big. One is to fill the frame. The other is to use a wide angle. The number one reason why things look smaller in pictures is a mistaken urge to "get everything in". You must decide what a picture is about and ruthlessly exclude the things that don't serve that. Wide angle lenses make things look bigger because you shoot things from a shorter distance. Standing far from things will make things look distant, even if you fill the frame.
