Cropping An Image (AS Photography)

Cropping An ImageBy Alois Mangwende

What is cropping ?• Cropping is the way in which a

photograph is framed, as it’s the part of the image that the photographer chose to leave out

Information

• I was informed by my teacher that the first step in making a good crop is “deciding on your own mind, what need needs to be in your photo and what doesn’t add anything to your overall image”

How I cropped an image

My class and I went through stages of cropping by using

two ‘L’ shaped pieces of card and placing them over a

photography we had take. This made a frame. We did

this until we found a position we liked.
