I worked as 1 of 2 photographers in a large design studio, the other guy wouldn't allow the display artists to crop his work. I was often amazed at the pics inside of pics, and also the shapes (other than square or rectangular) that creative people could see in my pics. Most of my stuff was shot on 35mm Fuji 100 asa in those days and enlargements up to 1 metre for display purposes were frequently used with adequate quality. If I shot a tight composition, it was always backed up with wider shots for these very creative people. As with most photography "look outside the square" for some surprising results!
