Wide angle lenses increase the sense of depth in a photo. Long lenses do the opposite – they compress distance.

If you get close enough with a wide angle lens the photo will make the viewer feel involved in the scene,

But you have to get close enough.  For the photo of the crowd that meant being about six to nine inches from the man on the left.
