Scaling gallery images on hover scales images out of the frame

I want the pictures in my work page to scale up and have the caption with a black overlay to appear on top when hovering over each picture. I have gotten the caption and overlay to work, but when I tried adding the code to scale the photos up, the photos do in fact scale, however it scales out of its frame. As you can see below, I tried adding overflow: hidden to counteract that, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

This is the code I used:

.gallery-caption {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.4); /* overlay color */
height: 100%;
max-width: unset;
padding: 0;
opacity: 0;
}
.gallery-caption-wrapper {
display: flex;
align-items: flex-end; /* center vertically */
justify-content: left; /* center */
}
.gallery-caption-content {
font-size: 1rem !important; /* caption font size */
color: white; /*caption font color */
padding: 0px 0px 20px 30px;
}

.gallery-grid-item:hover .gallery-caption {
opacity: 1;
}
.gallery-grid-item:hover
{
transform: scale(1.1);
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow:hidden!important;
}
.gallery-grid-item {
overflow:hidden!important;
position: relative;
}
.gallery-caption-grid-simple {
transition-delay: 0ms;
}

You need to set overflow for parent element. Add this code under

/* Scale grid photo on hover */
.gallery-grid-item-wrapper {
    overflow: hidden;
}
.gallery-grid-item-wrapper img {
    transition: all 0.3s;
}
figure:hover img {
    transform: scale(1.3);
    transition: all 0.3s;
}

This works, thank you so much! The problem I am running into now is, all the galleries on other pages as well as single images (I'm assuming due to figure:hover img) are scaling up as well. Any idea on how to fix this?
Thanks!

Use new code

/* work page Scale grid photo on hover */
body#collection-60ef387c1eddff5132766a6a {
.gallery-grid-item-wrapper {
    overflow: hidden;
}
.gallery-grid-item-wrapper img {
    transition: all 0.3s;
}
figure:hover img {
    transform: scale(1.3);
    transition: all 0.3s;
}}

Hi,

 

I'm having a similar problem - I'm having my images scale on hover. Since it's fluid engine I'm using .sqs-block-image to scale, but I don't want the images to overflow. However I can't seem to find the right parent to get overflow: hidden to work. Could you please help? 🙏

Broadlough.ie

I have tried all of these, lifted from inspecting the page code but it appears they aren't the right ones: 

.image-block-outer-wrapper .fluid-image-animation-wrapper .fluid-image-container .sqs-block-image
  {overflow: hidden !important;}
