- Use your zoom lens to shorten the 'depth of field' (sense of depth) in your photograph, and throw the background out of focus. This adds emphasis to your subject.
- A wide-angle lens used too close to your subject will distort their features.
- Use your zoom lens to fill your photograph, rather than leaving your main point of interest floating in space.
- Zooming in will flatten perspective, which generally produces a more flattering shot of your subject.
