Although you can change the composition of a
black & white photograph by cropping it during
printing, don’t let this fact lull you into a false
sense of security, as it leads to sloppy technique.
Instead, aim to compose each picture
in-camera exactly as you want it to be printed.
Think carefully about the way the lines, shapes,
patterns and textures are arranged, so they
relate expressively to one another. Some
photographers, including the more arty types,
even print their black & white pictures with the
film rebate showing – evidence that the image
hasn’t been cropped.
You needn’t go to such measures (although
the technique can look very effective) and
there’s nothing wrong with cropping an image if
it improves the end result, but being disciplined
about composition when you take the picture in
the first place will not only produce better
compositions, it will also make you a more
considered photographer overall.
