Crop with the final frame in mind
Leave enough breathing room around faces or the main subject. A photo that looks fine on screen can crop differently once it is forced into a square or rectangle.
Always check that the most important parts of the image stay inside the frame.
Color and filters
Heavy filters often look better on social media than they do in print.
- Avoid extreme filters.
- Check that skin tones still look natural.
- Use similar color palettes within the same wall.
- When a set feels inconsistent, black and white can unify it.
