Creative Cropping

I was advised by one of my tutors to creatively crop some of the images i took of the model to make it appear as though the model is wearing the seascapes as a garment instead of just a piece placed on the body.


I created a series of cropped images starting with a close up shot leading towards more attention on the models face. I like this series however, I think they might be slightly too overwhelming as theres a fair bit for the viewer to look at.

 More focus and attention is given towards the model in both of these images. The Victorian look my model gives off really compliments the ruffled collar shes wearing. I think these images have been cropped too much as i want the viewer to focus mainly on the collar but the majority has been edited away.

The face is unfortunately not in focus therefore not achieving a successful overall image.
The second image I think is cropped too much again as it is too narrow width ways. However, it does give the impression that the piece could possibly be a garment such as a dress or shirt as the viewer is unaware of where it ends. This was my aim when i started cropping these images.

I don't think these cropped images have been very successful but I wanted to experiment initially to see if they made any improvements. I have discovered they didn't make any improvements as they look unprofessional and as though they have been edited to much, i wont be using them in my show.
