is it "standard" to include all the jumps etc. in the photo?


If the photo is for the competitor they prefer to be able to see the total jump (wings, height, spread, crossbars) and the full horse to see "what it is doing" with front and rear action. If it is for publication, closer in are often used. Sometimes a horse magazine cover-shot is just the horses head and rider's face/head. So there are no "rules" it depends on the use. In general the jump should be in the shot.
