First of all, I would like to mention that I started editing my final pictures in squared format so I can upload them on Instagram.
But speaking of my journey, I began to really understand how composition can completely change the way a picture comes across. The original picture (see below) had a lot of empty space above and below. If the subject were a person or something small, it would have been a great opportunity to portray the vastness of the world and the insignificance of the small subject compared to the world. But in this case the subject was a Greek/Roman style mansion, which to me communicates grandiosity and strength. To support the message, I decided to crop both top and bottom to make the subject dominate the space.
I guess I have a thing for black and white right now..
Most humble,
SL
