Second, using multiple frames allows photographers to create panoramic images and multi-panel pieces. In making these images, photographers can capture physical space outside the camera frame’s format; it allows photographers to create images that include a wider angle of view than the camera’s format could otherwise capture. Some of these types of images are seamlessly “stitched together” in the
