Cropping an Image

Josh Sampson

Cropping is the way in which a photograph is framed. It’s the parts of a photo the photographer chose to leave in and the parts to cut out.In class, we discussed that the first step in making a good crop is nothing more than deciding what needs to be in the photo and what simply doesn't add anything to the overall image. We easily did this by printing off an image we add taken already and used two ‘L-shaped’ pieces of card to make a frame.

The image on the left is when I placing frames around different parts of the image.

The image on the right is from one of the frames.
