Distance in Photography Choosing the correct distance is important How close do you want the subject and viewer to be? What do you want the viewer to see or pay attention to? What isn’t needed in the photo?
The different distance shots and their abbreviations Extreme long shot: ELS Close up : CU Long shot: LS Extreme close up : ECU Medium shot: MS
Extreme long shot: the subject and its vast context are necessary
Long shot: seeing the whole subject and some background is needed
Medium shot: whole subject is not needed – but some context and more detail is required
SO, think about what needs to be in the shot and what doesn’t! Also, decide what detail or texture is needed and what feeling you want to create Then, choose the correct distance.
