At first it feels a bit unnatural to cut of pieces of someones head, but with a bit of practice it can give, when used right, great strong results.

Great tip that I always try to use when I’m doing portraits.

Another added thought that adds to what the wolf brigade mentioned is to be mindful of the space you need for cropping for different size printing options. If you are too tight initially you won’t leave yourself any room if cropping is needed and you’ll end up with the “balding with an elongated face” that the WolfBrigade spoke about above.

So fill the frame but leave a little cropping room.

Great post. I was in the process of posting ‘Composition in Wildlife Photography’ which also includes a section on ‘filling the frame’. Added a link to this post.

I do not do much portraits but with wildlife images it is sometimes difficult to get a clean and crisp frame-filling image as the subject does not always hold still. However when you get it right, the results are normally very striking!

Be careful when filling the frame with portraits though. The above shot “works” because there is enough detail for the imagination to complete the face, but, I’ve seen other that don’t work so well.

My personal gripe is where a portrait is cropped so tight that there is no hairline left. It makes the subject seem balding with an elongated face.
