landscape shot
Wide terrain photograph
A landscape shot is a photograph or film frame showing a wide view of scenery—mountains, fields, coastlines, or other expansive terrain.
The term emphasizes subject matter rather than camera orientation, though landscape shots often use horizontal framing to capture breadth: The documentary opened with sweeping landscape shots of the Scottish Highlands.
In cinematography, these establish setting and mood.
