Square Format Images : Some Good Reasons to Try

Advertisement

Square Format Images that means photographs of 1:1 ratio is somewhat controversial, there are photographers whom know it well enough while others never tried. Figuring out what aspect to use for a photograph is as important as composition and exposure. Obviously, if you can get the image exactly as you want it you will not need to do any cropping and there are photographers who prefer to use this approach definitely saves time.

You will always find something you want to delete from your collection or after observing at your works for at least one minute, you will come to the conclusion that the shots would be more interesting and more balanced if they are changed to Square Format Images.

Almost certainly normally all will be using the ratio of 3:2, which is the native camera aspect. Even if you do it simply out of habit, it is difficult to deny that the rectangular format – whether it is vertical or horizontal – works excellently, it is aesthetically pleasing and lends itself well to the 10 × 15 print size. However, if you think of a print of different size, then you might use the various aspects those fit the print size you have in mind, but any aspect ratio, at the end, is always a rectangle. Unless it is not a perfect square (to be technical, only a square is a rectangle with four equal sides). The 1:1 ratio is somewhat controversial, there are those who love it and those who hate him. Others know him well enough or have never tried to use it. But it exists. In fact, the photos of the square format are there and you see them around. As said, this 1:1 ratio is somewhat controversial, but it exists. In fact, the square format photos were quite common around 1920s. At the end of the twenties the cameras were built whose native aspect ratio was just square. So you might think that this is an outdated format that no longer works in the world of modern photography. But take into account some positive sides of the Square Format Images before excluding it completely – thumbnails are usually square, profile pictures are usually square!

Square Format Images Means Simplicity

 

Simplicity is not necessarily synonymous with boredom. There are times and situations where less is more. That said, using a square, the space available is less, you always have to simplify your composition and framing, it is not always as easy as it seems. A square cut can give your subject a different focus, that you could not get with a more traditional rectangular cut.

 

Square Format Images Means Centrality

Using a Square Format allows you to overcome the old rule not to put the subject in the center of the frame. With a Square Format, you can place the subject centrally quite safely and still get a beautiful picture, with all the needed emphasis on your subject.

 

Square Format Images Brings Harmony

 

For the photographers, it is very important to know how their work is perceived, interpret and respond to their works. The reading process of an image is the way in which the eyes of a viewer moves through a picture and the picture aspect greatly influences this process. While the rectangular format takes the viewer to visually scroll on the image from side to side, a good Square Format Image encourages the eye to move in a circular fashion around the frame.
