How to create attractive square images
In the days of film, the square format was more commonly used, especially when the 6×6 medium format camera was introduced. Today, no digital camera has a 1:1 aspect ratio, and so the square format has fallen out of favor a bit. That being said, it’s an incredibly fun and different way to create and analyze images, and this helpful video tutorial will give you some helpful tips on creating those fun using it.
Coming to you from aows, this awesome video tutorial will show you some helpful tips for creating attractive square images. I’ve always had a soft spot for 1:1 photos, especially since I find their symmetry very pleasing, but they can be surprisingly difficult to compose. One thing to keep in mind when creating them is that if you’re using a full frame camera, which has a 3:2 aspect ratio, you’ll instantly lose a third of the image’s resolution when cropping the square. On a medium format camera with a 4:3 sensor, the penalty isn’t as bad (though still significant), at fourth. However, with the higher resolutions of many modern cameras today, that can still leave you with plenty of resolution to use as needed. Watch the video above for the full summary.
