Framing your Photo

By: David Peters

Add this Article to your website/blog

Incorporating a frame into your photo can transform a plain picture into an amazing one. Typically a foreground element is used to create the frame. Some frame elements could be a window frame, arches, a door, rows of trees, a fence, an overhanging tree branch and so on

The purpose of a frame is to separate your main subject and produce an appealing composition. A frame is many times a means of adding depth to an image. The appearance of the frame is up to you. You can opt to keep the detail of the frame, as in a wall, branch, or fence, or let the frame go dark, as in a window frame.

Keep in mind objects in the foreground (and even in the middle or background) that could be used as a frame when composing a shot. Move around in your environment to find the best angle or viewpoint when framing a subject. You might need to kneel down, back up or zoom in to capture the best composition for your chosen frame and subject.

Framing can also be done after the fact by combining two or more pictures in an image editing software. Very dramatic effects can be accomplished this way and you are only limited by your imagination.

Be careful when adding a frame through digital editing though. While you can certainly combine features of different images together, be cautious about adding artificial frames on familiar scenes and landscapes.

As an extreme example, don't frame the Washington Monument with the Great Wall of China. Unless your goal is to create dissonance within your viewers' minds, a picture with an intense difference will only come across as strange.

So, before you take that shot next time, look around and see if there is an object that you can use as a natural frame. Take a picture without the frame, and another one with the frame, and compare. Betcha, you'll like the one with the frame better!
