Camera Position 37 : Hey! Crop it Out!
Jeff Curto's Camera Position - A podcast by Jeff Curto
Photographers are not creators, they are editors. Unlike the painter, who starts with a blank canvas, we start with the whole world and our job is to remove all the “stuff” that doesn’t make our picture better; to pare down to the essence of the image. Ideally, we do this with the camera’s viewfinder, but sometimes, ya gotta crop.
