People challenge #31 - Framing

June 5th, 2024
Thank you to Vincent @vincent24 for hosting the last challenge. And many thanks to all those who participated and voted.

Photographing people can be great fun but also nerve-wracking; taking candid shots sometimes is easier but also engaging with the person or a group can produce great results. Whichever method you choose, capturing photos of loved ones records our memories and gives much pleasure.

Framing in photography simply refers to a compositional technique that helps bring attention directly to your subject, by blocking off part of the image to form a frame around a point of interest in your photo. It’s main goal is to draw the viewer’s eye to what’s most important, but it also works by making the scene look more interesting too, which makes the photo more compelling!
Using frames for composition will also help bring a sense of depth in your photos, which is a great thing to do in photography, because it creates a more three-dimensional feel (no mean feat since the camera flattens the world - our job is to bring back that depth!)
