You don't have to think about how to crop an image correctly if your goal is just to get a picture of the right size.
However, if you want to improve the image and achieve maximum effect, you should follow these recommendations from professionals.
Remove unnecessary items
Things that don't affect the mood of the photo or add something crucial to the narrative can distract from the story you want to tell through your image. When cropping an image, it’s important to get rid of as many redundant details that have the potential of stealing the audience’ attention as possible.
Be careful with the eyes
If you are working with a portrait, make sure that the eyes of your subject are slightly lower than the upper third of the picture. This way, the image will look well-balanced and aesthetically-pleasing.
Choose the right position
Don’t place the subject in the center of the frame all the time. In some cases, it may look too boring. Check out the rule of thirds before you get to cropping your images.
Don’t crop the image too close to the face
If your subject is looking to the left or to the right, leave some space between their face and the edge of the frame. Otherwise, the entire portrait will end up looking awkward and claustrophobia-inducing.
Avoid cropping right at your subject’s elbows/knees/fingers/ears. Otherwise, it may look like your subject is missing a limb.
Make sure the horizon line stays in the frame
If you have a landscape photo, you may crop your image in a way that all the attention will be on the sky or, instead, on the ground. But never crop it so much that there’s no horizon line anymore.
Experiment!
It’s important to keep the rules of composition in mind and use them as guidelines. However, rules are meant to be broken and by trying out different ways of cropping images, you might come up with a new composition that will strike your audience right in the heart.
