Experiment 2: Cropping

Cropping is an important aspect when it comes to editing photos since it gets rid of unwanted areas within the image, improves the framing and accentuates/isolates the subject. Cropping allows the viewer to focus on the main features within the photo. By using the cropping tool in Lightroom I began to make some radical changes by selecting areas of my images for a different visual impact. Cropping can create drama in an image as well as making the composition more interesting than previously. Cropping can also decontextualise a subject within the frame which creates a great effect or can change the nature of an image radically.
