Cropping Photographs for better Composition
Not all the pictures are perfect straight out of the camera, often it is the cropping which makes an image more powerful. It may mean to trim those distractions, get the subject into viewer\’s prime attention, or to change the orientation of the image. This in turn, will strengthen the overall composition and photograph.
Watch the short video below on the importance of cropping (before or after the photo is taken) to create a better photo. |
