Overview and quickfacts
Telephoto lenses are long focal length lenses that allow the photographer to capture images at a distance without having to physically move closer to the subject. This type of lens is often used in sports and wildlife photography, as it allows the photographer to capture images of fast-moving subjects from a distance. Telephoto lenses typically have a large maximum aperture, which allows for a shallow depth of field and a narrow field of view. This makes them ideal for isolating a subject from its surroundings.
The art style is also known as: Long Lens, Zoom Lens, Optical Lens

Detailed Description
Telephoto lenses are long focal length lenses that allow the photographer to capture images at a distance without having to physically move closer to the subject. This type of lens is often used in sports and wildlife photography, as it allows the photographer to capture images of fast-moving subjects from a distance. Telephoto lenses are also useful for capturing images of subjects that are difficult to approach, such as animals in the wild. Famous photographers who have used telephoto lenses to capture iconic images include Ansel Adams, who used a telephoto lens to capture the moonrise over the Sierra Nevada mountains, and National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry, who used a telephoto lens to capture the Afghan girl on the cover of the magazine. Telephoto lenses can be used to create a variety of different effects, from compression of the background to create a shallow depth of field, to isolating the subject from the background. When used creatively, telephoto lenses can be a powerful tool for the photographer.
