People generally try to locate a place if they are able to visualise it. And for that a picture is a must. I, for myself do the same. And it has happened with me many times that when I search for a place I find that there are no photos of that place. As a local guide my first task is to click the front portion of a building or an office. Name plate or sign board is important. It is the first thing that any new person to that place would want to look for. Rest of the pictures of that place is secondary.
I click landscape and portrait picture both. Portrait pictures help to define the frontal entire portion and landscape pictures help to visualise the adjacent building or areas. It is nice if any pictures includes the owner or manager of the shop, office or any institution.
This will help any person to understand that a particular person will be the one whom one could meet at that place.
For a park or bigger area it is important to take a wide angle photo to cover the detail. For that if possible photographs should be taken from a building or a raised area.
