Choosing the right focal length can completely transform an outdoor photograph. It affects how viewers experience scale, depth, and emotion—and ultimately how intentional your image feels.
In her latest class, Erin Babnik breaks down how different lenses shape perspective and visual storytelling in outdoor scenes. You’ll learn when a wide-angle lens helps exaggerate scale, when a longer focal length can simplify a chaotic scene, and how thoughtful lens choice can guide the viewer’s eye. Erin also explains how focal lengths influence emotional impact, helping you move beyond “what lens should I use?” and toward why a certain lens strengthens the story you want to tell.
If you want more control over your compositions and stronger, more deliberate outdoor images, this class is a must-watch. Watch it here.
