Framing

When I first think of framing, I think of putting a picture in a picture frame. While the concept is similar in photography, the framing that we do will be completed as the picture is taken.

Framing in composition is using elements within your image to create a border or frame next to, above, below, or around your image in order to create a more specific point of interest for the viewer.

For this assignment, watch this video.

Look at and read this website.

Read the handout.

Scour the web for further examples of framing. Post a few pictures or links from the web to your blog when you post your image.

Come up with a plan, then take a picture that illustrates the concept of framing in composition, and post the image to your blog. Remember that your image will be graded on quality, so make sure that it is in focus and well-exposed.
