Steps
Step 1. Open Adobe InDesign

Step 3. Click on File> Place within the InDesign Control Panel
Navigate to the path of the image you want to import and double click on the file name.
Step 4. By clicking with the mouse, drag the image to the desired position
Step 5. Adjust the image size if necessary
You can do this by selecting the photo with the Selection tool, then clicking on one of the small squares that are on its outline.

If you want to crop a portion of the photo instead, just hold down the Control key while dragging the square.
