I realize that I much prefer shooting tight to shooting wide. Tight shots bring the viewer much closer to the subject in the frame. A cultural and psychological context can be established in close shots that bring an element of drama to the frame. I decided to shoot this old statue I have that's seen better days. Shooting tight brings out texture, color, and contrast that wouldn't be present in a wide shot. These tight shots brings us into a more intimate mindset when viewing this statue. Even temporal contexts could be established when the different sorts of wear is present in great detail on the statue. How long has it been there? How old is it? would be questions brought to mind.
