Why the entire car is not captured

Many of the photographs included in the '10 Years, 100,000 km Story' books, which have been published up to part 4, do not show the entire car. There are several reasons for this.
First, one reason is that priority is given to capturing both the owner and the car in a single frame, and to capturing a good expression on the owner's face.
When doing so, the photographer inevitably gets closer to the owner, so the whole car cannot fit in the frame. If one tries to capture everything from nose to tail while ensuring the owner is visible somewhere, the owner will only appear small because of the difference in size between the car and the person, and their expression will not be clear.
Furthermore, the question arises regarding the intent of the photography: 'Is it absolutely necessary for the entire car to be shown?'
If it were a photo of just the car without the owner, perhaps it would be necessary to show the whole thing, but it is not necessary for '10 Years, 100,000 km Story,' which aims to depict the relationship between the owner and the car.
Also, since we are expressing a three-dimensional object like a car on a two-dimensional photograph, even if the entire car is shown, it is merely a temporary representation. Even if you look at dozens of photos of the entire car from every angle, you are only understanding it by assembling the image in your brain.
Is it something that cannot be recognized if the entire car is not shown?
That is not the case, is it? Even in a photo where only half of the front grille and one headlight are visible, you can imagine the rest. Moreover, since the photos are accompanied by articles, you can identify the car by looking at the title.
Photographer Sai Santo, a car enthusiast who has owned three Citroen CXs in succession, would take photos while exploring the size of the frame and the parts to capture depending on the car. For cars with unique shapes, such as the CX, Mini, or 911, he would try to take photos where only a little bit was visible, and for cars with less distinctive features, he would decide on a composition that made them larger so they could be distinguished.
However, people who can only think in a rigid, rule-bound way never disappear, and even now, I am still asked from time to time.
'Why are there no photos showing the entire car?'
Which part of the car to focus on and photograph is a showcase of the photographer's skill and heart, and receiving that is also a great pleasure for the reader.
Rather than trying to understand and enjoy the photographer's intent, the sense and attitude of reflexively demanding that the entire car be shown is a complete suspension of thought. It is pitiful, though. If you want a catalog, you can just look at the manufacturer's website.
