Setting Boundaries with Kas Stone

Photographic Guild of Nova Scotia

Cropping is a popular technique that is used to remove extraneous or distracting elements around the edges of a photograph or to change its aspect ratio. However, too often cropping is (mis)used as a remedy for sloppy composition or laziness in the field! In this presentation we explore the role of cropping in our photographic workflow and its impact on an image’s visual design and storytelling. We review methods for calculating appropriate crop dimensions for various print and electronic formats, and technical limitations that must be considered when setting boundaries for our images.Note: this is general discussion that applies to any image-editing software; it is not a software-specific how-to tutorial.About our presenter:Kas Stone is a professional photographic artist based in Nova Scotia, where she is inspired by the wild coastal scenery and moody weather right outside her door. Her portfolio includes an extensive list of presentations, exhibitions and publications, with several books and feature articles in Canadian and U.K. magazines.
