The Art of the Crop

The Art of the Crop — Composition That Finishes the Photograph
In workshops and online portfolio reviews, I often see a student who saw the image—but the final photograph didn’t fully deliver what they felt in the moment. Most of the time, it isn’t a technical problem. It’s composition. And more often than not, a smarter crop is the difference between “pretty good” and “wow.”
In this on-demand class, I use my own photographs to show clear before-and-after examples, breaking down exactly what changed—and why. You’ll see how small shifts in framing can strengthen the subject, simplify distractions, improve balance, and guide the viewer’s eye where you intended.
Includes:
Before-and-after comparisons using Scott’s images
Composition thinking you can apply to any subject
Practical cropping decisions that improve impact without “over-editing.
