Have you ever felt inhibited creatively by a lens' field of view? No matter how many steps back you try to take, you just can't seem to compose an image you have in mind. That's why you need an ultra-wide angle lens to capture the vast world.

Grab your audience by the hand and pull them into the scene you are viewing. It's time to get creative with Sony's ultra-wide angle lenses.

 

Go Wide, Get Close, Create More

With short minimum focus distance of Sony's ultra-wide angle lenses, you can go up close and focus on your subject to create a striking sense of depth and scale. This allows the foreground elements to appear larger while pushing the wide background into a more dramatic perspective.

Like how every star of the show can only shine with a capable supporting cast, you can make the centrepiece of your photos stand out while retaining intricate details.

Reimagine Portraits with Wide-Angle Freedom

While standard to telephoto lenses (from 50mm onwards) may be more common in portrait photography, you can also explore wider angles for greater photographic freedom! Combine wide-angle perspectives with interesting angles to turn simple scenes into striking, expansive backdrops — ideal for creative, environmental portraits.

Smaller Details, Fuller Stories

Fit more tiny details that enhance visual storytelling in frame. Be it fluffy white clouds drifting across the sky or interesting discoveries in tight, confined spaces, these details can supplement your visual storytelling with an additional layer of depth. They also provide your audience with a more complete picture of your surroundings, further immersing them in the scene you captured.

What's more, you can accentuate dimensional details such as length, depth and height with an ultra-wide angle lens. Make roads stretch further and ceilings rise higher than ever before with a wider perspective!

Time to take on the wide, wide world!
