Here in Managua, Nicaragua we are teaching photographers/videographers how to make your photos work. Yesterday I watched one student shooting with a Nikon 5300 and 28-300mm lens. She was zoomed all the way out so her lens was actually a 450mm. She was so far away from the people and often shooting the sides or even the backs of people's heads.
I pulled up photos like this above and showed her what I was getting. I helped her to see the importance of being engaged with the subject.

I asked her to follow me and shoot the same photos. She was getting the difference very quickly.

If you want your audience to feel like they have been right were you are standing then you have to get close and to do that you have to build relationships with people.
