  18. CROPPING TIPS • Crop out all unnecessary information from the photo. Every inch of space should help tell the story. • Crop from the inside out.

  19. PROPORTIONS vs. Think about how the photo interacts with the shape of the photo box. Trevor Munch, Ward Melville High School [NY]

  20. STORYTELLING vs. Consider how thoughtful cropping can help you tell the story. Taylor Lockhoof, James Bowie High School [TX]

  21. CROPPING DO’S AND DON’TS Look at the background. Does it tell a story or does it distract from the Center of Interest? Avoid cropping at the neck. Avoid placing the CVI in the middle of the photo. Avoid cropping at joints Laura Gilligan, Westlake High School [TX]

  22. AHHH. THIS IS BETTER. The background adds to the story told by the photo, so we kept it.. Everyone has a head! The CVI is placed using the Rule of Thirds. They have their ankles and other joints! Laura Gilligan, Westlake High School [TX]

  23. PHOTOJOURNALISM ETHICS: • As tempting as it may be, it is unethical to change the content of photos you publish. • VERY rarely: • Remove people or objects using photo editing software (e.g. put in a person who missed a group photo) • Flip images (e.g. make someone face a different direction) • Make any content changes to the photo (e.g. change the color of someone’s eyes)

  24. CODE OF ETHICS National Press Photographers Association This is an incomplete list. Go to nppa.org/code_of_ethics to learn more. • Be accurate and comprehensive in the representation of subjects. • Resist being manipulated by staged photo opportunities. • Avoid stereotyping and avoid presenting your own biases in work. • Treat all subjects with respect and dignity. • Do not intentionally contribute to, alter, or seek to alter or influence events. • Do not manipulate image in anyway that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.

  25. IN OTHER WORDS… *Your goal as a photographer is to tell the story of an event while acting respectfully and purposefully. *While at an event: • Get in on the action, but respect the rights of coaches, directors, and participants to ask you to stop, not use flash, get out of their line of site, etc. • Do not interfere with or stage action. • Communicate with coaches, directors, and participants so they know who you are and what you are doing. • If possible, wear a Yearbook Staff t-shirt or wear your badge so your purpose is obvious.

  26. WHEN EDITING… When you are touching up photos using an editing software, remember: • You may not alter the image to misrepresent the individual or action of a photo. • Minimal edits are okay as long as the integrity of the original photo stays intact – it is still the same photo, just minimally enhanced. (e.g. Removing a minor distraction, such as a trashcan)
