Wide-angle photography is less about following photographers who only use wide lenses and more about studying genres where wide angles are commonly used well. Most strong photographers use many focal lengths depending on the subject.

Good areas to study are:

• landscapes
• street photography
• photojournalism
• travel and environmental portraiture

Photographers often suggested as useful to study include:

• Ansel Adams
• Galen Rowell
• Henri Cartier-Bresson
• Jay Maisel
• Robert Capa
• Philip Jones Griffiths

National Geographic is also a strong resource because it includes many examples of landscapes, documentary work, travel, and environmental portraits that often make effective use of wide-angle lenses.

You can also search photo communities like Flickr or 500px for “wide angle” and browse by category. When studying images, focus on how the photographer uses foreground, distance, perspective exaggeration, leading lines, and subject placement rather than just the lens itself.
