Why extreme photo cropping is good

We'll be announcing some new products next week, for events and parties that we know our lollipops sometimes get bought for. To that end, I was editing some photos yesterday.

And while this is a fine photo:

I also enjoyed cropping the photo down to the essentials: those labels on the lollipops.

It really brings the focus on the part that people often pay the most attention to: the labels and the candy. The above photo is great for showing how to display a dozen lollipops (it's a blumebox), but the cropped in version is a much better lead product photo.

We'll have these - and more - in the shop next week!
