Closed Format Cropping

Closed format cropping is a photography technique in which all information about the subject/ location is provided. The photographer doesn't focus on detail, but instead focuses on capturing the image as a whole.

This photo by  Charles C. Ebbets shows people and the location as a whole. This is a powerful photograph because it creates a slightly uneasy feeling in the viewer, but is still so interesting to look at.
