Overview and quickfacts
Wide angle lenses are typically used in landscape photography, as they allow for a wider field of view than a standard lens. This can be helpful when trying to capture a large scene, or when you want to get closer to your subject while still including the background. Wide angle lenses can also be used for creative effects, such as making objects appear larger or smaller than they actually are.
The art style is also known as: Fisheye lens, ultra-wide angle lens, super-wide angle lens

Detailed Description
Wide angle lenses are used in photography to create an illusion of depth. By using a wide angle lens, artists can make a scene appear larger than it actually is. This type of lens is also useful for capturing large groups of people or landscapes. Some famous paintings that have been created with a wide angle lens include The Hay Wagon by American painter Andrew Wyeth and The Madonna of the Rocks by Leonardo da Vinci.
