So i can give a justification for cropping with a little head room , because the instagram crops 1x1 for preview on feed and explore so people intentionally leave a tad bit space over the head of model so they don't crop her face in instagram preview but yeah some people really leave too much space 😂. Best crop i learned for instagram is positioning eyes just under the top grid line (center has 2 lines , aim for upper line for positioning eyes)
@ELSHAKON15
@ELSHAKON15 3 жыл бұрын
Yes that's is the main reason, also in camera, we tend to center focus on the eyes and that leaves a lot of space above the head.

The counter-argument to both this original comment and Aliejandro's response is that she was reviewing photos that people submitted to her for review. They weren't Instagram shots, and they weren't (I hope!) straight-out-of-camera shots, either. Both of the reasons given may be valid for PRE-edited photos, but if you've done work on them and left them that way, then it's just a mistake. Personally, my guess would be that some people edit to get the eyes on the center line of the photo. This is a great time to use the rule of thirds and have the eyes lined up on the upper-third line, rather than in the center of the shot. That doesn't always work perfectly, of course, but it's a good starting point.

when you mentioned noticing a lot of people having lots of room in the top of their photos- i definitely would not call myself a photographer, but whenever i do take photos.. idk i like to have a lot of sky in it. i think it can make it look sort of cool to have more going on in the bottom half and less in the top off then everything being centered. sometimes, though. not always. just sometimes hahahaha.

this is a good point! there are definitely workarounds to make sure you get a sharp image that is compositionally balanced. getting comfortable with your camera and your lens are crucial to getting crisp images. like you said, if you’re shooting in the center of the screen youll almost always need to be cropping in post to keep compositional balance.

in the early stages of shooting, focus and recomposing didn't work too well for my Nikon, and also, because the camera doesn't have edge to edge focus points, i find myself having a quite bit of space on top of the head. But, because i'm against cropping (to not lose MP), i tried to fill the person in frame, and I get soft focus on the eyes. Alas, I do crop a lot of my portrait shots.
@hollyc2533
@hollyc2533 3 жыл бұрын
@@chalzjo2455 definitely, i would much rather crop than have soft focus on the eyes. this was much more a concern with my rebel t3/50mm 1.8 prime setup than it is with my current setup but even with a lower resolution camera you can definitely overlook the loss in mp in favor of sharper focus.

I think lifting the blacks is one of those trends on Instagram where the photo looks "natural" and de-saturated, to achieve a certain filter look. . I don't particularly like it all the time, but then again i'm still making lots of mistakes! The cropping issue is also an Instagram thing, where people want lots of different angles so sometimes they leave out lots of space... I'm also making that mistake but that's how we learn :)

Meter off the models skin. Btw like your work! Keep it coming!
