What does a crop hide?

A crop keeps only part of an image. It can help us focus, but it can also remove clues. Compare these two views of the same sample drawing.

Illustration made for this prototype; no real photograph or child is depicted.

Try It

Three questions for a photo

  1. What can you see for certain?
  2. What might be outside the frame?
  3. Where could you find more context?
