I often crop right into my photographs so they stand out on social media and catch your attention as you scroll.
But then I have to remind myself: I shoot to print.
A photograph on your wall is experienced differently from one on your phone. Like a painting, it sometimes needs a little space to breathe.
Think about wandering around a gallery. You stop, take in the whole picture, then step closer to notice the details.
Sometimes that space around the person is part of what makes the photograph work. And I have to resist the temptation to crop it all away.
