Lenses with a shorter focal length in the range of 17mm-40mm provide a broader view and are used to tell a story and/or a bigger scene with a foreground and background.They create sense of expansiveness and openness in a image by increasing apparent distance between objects in the scene. They come into their own when working in a confined space.
