Ah, to crop or not to crop. Personally I do crop. Cartier-Bresson allegedly never cropped an image out of principle. Yet one of my favourite contemporary photographers, Jack Davison, says this: “… the one thing I live by, still, is to crop out everything that's not important, and to make a really tight, strong frame.”

So, I’ll sit on the fence and say… it depends!

I view photos as stories, so I crop if that focuses the story and leave the image if that creates a better story.
