However, in the original photo the sun umbrella is positioned close to the center of the image, which is something that I want to correct with cropping. However, I can simply crop it all out to make the image cleaner.Īccording to the rule of thirds, which is a good starting point for many composition decisions, the main subject of the photo (the sun umbrella) should be placed at the intersection of composition grid lines. Since none of this stuff was mine, I couldn’t quite fix that.
I also think it’s beautiful, but it would be a lot nicer without all the shoes and bags in the sand. The photo above is rather messy in its original state. To illustrate my point I will discuss some of my Instagrams along with the source photos before they were cropped. If done correctly, cropping can turn a messy and poorly composed picture into a beautiful high-impact composition. In fact, cropping is one of the most creative and important aspects of iPhone photography.
However, cropping should not be reduced to simply making squares out of your 3:2 photos. Using any other aspect ratio will make your photos appear even smaller and thus less likely to make an impact. However, the iPhone’s default camera app, which I use 99% of the time, only shoots 3:2 photos. If you attempt to share such photos on Instagram, you will either have to crop them or leave black margins on the sides, which is something I don’t recommend for aesthetic reasons.Ĭonsidering that the iPhone’s screen is already quite small, it’s a good idea to only share square photos on Instagram. As you probably already know, Instagram only supports the sharing of square images.
