Composition techniques : Framing your photo
Mar 21st, 2008 | By Rosh PR | Category: Photography, TutorialWe often frame our photos when ever we put it up for display. Generally we try out
the best photo frames to bring an attention to the photo. But there is another type of framing that you can do as you’re taking your shots that can be just as effective doing just the same thing!
Framing is a art of bring your subject in between various objects and focusing on your object, which bring some depth in to your picture.
Some of the benefits
- Giving images a sense of depth and layers
Framing a shot generally puts something in the foreground which adds an extra dimension to the shot.
- Leading the eye towards your main focal point
Some also believe that a frame can not only draw the eye into a picture but that it keeps it there longer giving a barrier between your subject and the outside of the shot.
- Entangle your viewer
Sometimes its the confusing and intriguing part of the picture that draws attention to a picture. Clever framing that leaves those viewing your image wondering a little or imagining what is behind your frame can be quite effective (get it wrong and it can also be quite annoying!).
Frames for photographs come in all shapes and sizes and can include shooting through overhanging branches, shooting through windows, using tunnels, arches or doorways - you can even use people etc. Your frame doesn’t need to go completely around the edges of your image - they might just be on one or two edges of your shot.
Usually itz better to blur the framing object with fine aperture and laying focus on your subject.
