Cropping
a
Portrait
According
to
Ben
Lucas
,
a
Seattle
-
based
commercial
portrait
and
wedding
,
cropping
a
portrait
requires
a
certain
technique
depending
on
the
type
of
portrait
.
For
example
,
crop
a
person's
full
at
the
shin
,
thigh
,
torso
or
middle
of
the
arm
.
That
way
it
doesn't
feel
like
we're
amputating
the
person
.
Next
,
crop
a
person's
at
the
hair
or
forehead
just
above
the
eyebrows
.
Don't
crop
at
the
or
else
the
person
will
look
bald
.
Also
,
you
can
crop
a
portrait
by
leaving
in
the
direction
of
where
the
person
is
looking
.
This
will
leave
the
viewer
of
the
photo
with
more
.
In
short
,
with
the
right
technique
will
give
the
viewer
a
better
view
of
your
portrait
.
