This is a science question, when we see this gravitational lensing phenomenon in actual black hole photos, would we see it within proximity of the singularity? Don’t you have to be much further away from the object to see gravitational lensing?

Many of the examples of gravitational lensing are on distant objects because it's difficult to find something of sufficient mass which is between you and a light source otherwise, but distance is not a requirement.

Very cool indeed!
