>>2863946No he didn't, really. I actually really like this composition. He isn't wide as shit, like that Jared Polin frofuck likes to shoot. Though- he still manages to get in some of the surrounding story, while still remaining intimate with the subject.
The reason why this photographer shot it at a normal orientation is because of the way they're lying. It makes your eyes move from one side of the image to the other. Which is the way your eyes typically scan an image in this orientation.
If you did it in portrait it would have caused a weird looking composition, due to the way the two are lying in the scene.
