Wide Angle Closeup - Definition

A wide angle closeup shot is a shot in which you shoot with the camera close to your subject, but rather than zooming in, you shoot fully zoomed out. In terms of focal length, any lens with a focal length of of 35mm or less is considered to be a wide angle lens. Therefore, a photo taken from a close up perspective with a focal length of 35mm or less is considered a wide angle closeup image. Wide angle close up photos are usually taken using a wide aperture, as this will create a narrow depth of field, focusing sharply on your subject and not on the background.

Here as example of a wide angle closeup image. The subject of the photo is a swan that was very close up to the camera. This image has been taken as a very wide angle, as you can see a lot of the background as well as the swan in the foreground.
