Stone Crop.


Photo cropping.
We tend to crop photos of everything, including walls !The crop is an edited version. We like to think its a better view than the entire thing. We narrow the image down to a smaller vignette to produce a larger effect.
It's a case of small is more.
It's the opposite of needing to have the big picture
You don't crop things bigger. You crop things smaller to see something you might otherwise miss or to take the viewers eyes off the obvious.
We are balancing the elements of content, proportion and composition
We are highlighting what we want the viewer to see, the aspect that we think is more important than the hole.
