Rule of thirds
Rule of Thirds
Pretend that the
screen on the
camera is divided
into nine parts.
There will be three
horizontal
sections (across)
and three vertical
sections (down).
Rule of thirds
How?
Place your subject on or near
one of the red dots
(where the lines intersect).
Rule of thirds
Why?
● Naturally draws attention to
the subject
● Creates visual interest
● Photo appears more
balanced
Rule of thirds
“One way to explain why it works is to think of it like this: if your
subject is in the middle of the image, it’s considered static. Your
eye is drawn to it then has nowhere to go from there because
the object is equal distance from all sides.
Therefore when your subject is positioned closer to one of the
edges, it forces your eye to follow it…to find it. This allows the
viewer to linger on your image longer. It makes for a more
captivating photo because it’s almost interactive. Like a
conversation going on between the photo and you.”
Rule of Space
If the subject is not looking forward, there should be enough
space in the photo for your subject to look. This is one aspect of
the “rule of space.”
Bad Good

Photography: Cropping
Which photo is better?
Photography: Cropping
What is cropping?
● Cropping means cutting a
image to remove unwanted
areas in the image.
● By cropping you are creating a
new photo.
● It is one of the easiest ways to
edit a photograph.
Photography: Cropping
Why crop?
1. Improve overall composition
2. Focus on the main subject
3. Remove distracting elements
4. “Zoom in” on a subject
5. Change the orientation
Why crop?
Improve overall composition
Composition is a way of guiding the viewer’s eye
towards the most important elements of your work.
Why crop?
Focus on the
main subject
Why crop?
Remove
distracting
elements

“Zoom in”
on a subject
Why crop?

orientation
Crop carefully!
Not every photo
needs cropping
CROP CAREFULLY!
Crop carefully!
Too much cropping
It feels like the horse is going to bang its head on the edge of the frame.
Framing is too tight on the side where the action is going. This slows down the
movement.
CROP

Crop carefully!
Crop carefully!
Amputation
When cropping people or animals, do not chop off their knees or ankle.
This bouncy picture of a dog running is ruined by it’s feet not being in the frame, even
though it has a good expression and is nice and sharp.
CROP
carefully!
Crop carefully!
Cropping: Tight vs. Wide
Don’t be afraid of a tight crop! If the subject of your article is
“injury” rather than the specific person who is injured, this crop
could work.
Cropping: Tight vs. Wide
Don’t be afraid of leaving a wide crop (wide amount of space
around your subject) if the background is interesting or if it is
relevant to the topic of your article.
Before you crop
BEFORE YOU CROP ...
Make a copy of the photo.
DO NOT use an original photo
because if you make a mistake, you
may not be able to fix it.

Intro to Cropping

  • 1. Warm up Is my photo suitable for my article? 1. Choose one or two photos to display on your screen. 2. Have a copy of the lede for your article. 3. Pick your partner: Random name picker 4. Your task (2 minutes): a. Read each others lede. b. Look at the photo: Is this photo suitable for this article? 5. When everyone has finished reading the lede and viewing the photo a. Explain to your partner why it is or is not suitable? b. Do you have any suggestions? 6. Volunteers to share with the class.
  • 2. Rule of thirds Rule of Thirds Pretend that the screen on the camera is divided into nine parts. There will be three horizontal sections (across) and three vertical sections (down).
  • 3. Rule of thirds How? Place your subject on or near one of the red dots (where the lines intersect).
  • 4. Rule of thirds Why? ● Naturally draws attention to the subject ● Creates visual interest ● Photo appears more balanced
  • 5. Rule of thirds “One way to explain why it works is to think of it like this: if your subject is in the middle of the image, it’s considered static. Your eye is drawn to it then has nowhere to go from there because the object is equal distance from all sides. Therefore when your subject is positioned closer to one of the edges, it forces your eye to follow it…to find it. This allows the viewer to linger on your image longer. It makes for a more captivating photo because it’s almost interactive. Like a conversation going on between the photo and you.”
  • 6. Rule of Space If the subject is not looking forward, there should be enough space in the photo for your subject to look. This is one aspect of the “rule of space.” Bad Good
  • 9. Photography: Cropping What is cropping? ● Cropping means cutting a image to remove unwanted areas in the image. ● By cropping you are creating a new photo. ● It is one of the easiest ways to edit a photograph.
  • 10. Photography: Cropping Why crop? 1. Improve overall composition 2. Focus on the main subject 3. Remove distracting elements 4. “Zoom in” on a subject 5. Change the orientation
  • 11. Why crop? Improve overall composition Composition is a way of guiding the viewer’s eye towards the most important elements of your work.
  • 12. Why crop? Focus on the main subject
  • 16. Crop carefully! Not every photo needs cropping CROP CAREFULLY!
  • 17. Crop carefully! Too much cropping It feels like the horse is going to bang its head on the edge of the frame. Framing is too tight on the side where the action is going. This slows down the movement. CROP carefully!
  • 19. Crop carefully! Amputation When cropping people or animals, do not chop off their knees or ankle. This bouncy picture of a dog running is ruined by it’s feet not being in the frame, even though it has a good expression and is nice and sharp. CROP carefully!
  • 21. Cropping: Tight vs. Wide Don’t be afraid of a tight crop! If the subject of your article is “injury” rather than the specific person who is injured, this crop could work.
  • 22. Cropping: Tight vs. Wide Don’t be afraid of leaving a wide crop (wide amount of space around your subject) if the background is interesting or if it is relevant to the topic of your article.
  • 23. Before you crop BEFORE YOU CROP ... Make a copy of the photo. DO NOT use an original photo because if you make a mistake, you may not be able to fix it.
