It’s amazing how much cropping an image can completely transform its meaning, altering the viewer’s perception and response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take for example my first image, a beautiful butterfly, enjoying a flower, on a sunny day. An image like this, may depict a serene moment, with an ever so delicate butterfly. Given this picture alone, the viewer would likely admire the butterfly and move on, not questioning what else is contained in the original photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversely, focusing solely on this kitty cat’s intense gaze, a completely different image is born. A sense of the animal’s predatory instincts engulf the photo leaving the viewer wondering what lies just outside of frame. Cropping like this, is a powerful tool in visual storytelling because it controls what the viewer sees and, just as importantly, what they don\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the complete image, containing the full context behind the shot. When shown in full, the image may depict a moment of curiosity, with the cat gently observing the delicate butterfly. The simple act of framing highlights how context shapes interpretation, proving that what is left out of an image can be just as powerful as what is included. <\/p>\n\n\n
