Use photos that improve a user's experiences
Good design and what it looks like
There are two main types of photos, horizontally aligned and vertically aligned, and there is a time and place for each type.
Horizontal photos are best when:[1]
- The subject is wider than it is tall
- The photo has horizontal movement
This will "amplify the sense of movement" and causes the viewer to scan left to right.
- To convey a sense of space
The image will seem larger because humans are width, not height, focused
