One of the characteristics of a wide-angle lens is the ability to capture the expanse of a scene in an image with its wide angle of view. Also, it is able to create an intriguing deformed effect when you photograph the subject from a close distance. These characteristics can be utilised to bring out the shape of a subject or the depth of a landscape. That being said, care is needed as distortion is more likely to occur toward the edges of the image. To make effective use of a wide-angle lens, it is important to control both the angle of view as well as distortions in the image at the same time. By doing so, you will be able to add a dynamic touch to your photographic expression.
