Other artists, such as Andy Warhol, use this technique very effectively. Altering white balance or simply color grading to alter the overall color of a photo can lead to some really interesting results.

Also the square crop removes edge distraction and enhances visuals as only my subjects and the street lights are important in this photo On the right was the original flash color balance and to the left is the altered cooler white balance which transforms the scene completely.

By experimenting with cropping in this way you'll be able to create a series of images that work together as part of a wider collective of shots but that don't look too visually repetitive. The photos may have been taken in vertical orientation but if the pose (or other subject) allows it, then attempt a horizontal crop. Experiment With Cropping and ColorĪttempt different crops if your subject is in different poses as you move through the sequence. Fewer elements in the corners of the photo will mean the eye can look for detail further into the center of the image, with the theory that viewers will spend longer looking deep into your photograph, rather than getting to the edge and promptly moving along. Pay particular attention to the edges of the frame and be careful to omit anything that's much brighter than the subject as bright areas often draw the eye. The cones are lit and the brightness took my eyes to the opposite edge of the frame so I recomposed to vertical orientation to remove this distraction Shooting the scene horizontally I noticed that the traffic island to the left was drawing my attention away from my subjects on the sidewalk.
