Framing
Photography is the property of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
Framing refers to the composition of the whole photograph—what is included (the foreground, background, and space in between) within its borders and what is left out.
Natural elements or devices to draw the viewer’s eye to a focal point can be part of framing.
Can you identify both types of framing in the top photograph ?
In the middle picture framing accentuates the youth’s pose and the angle, or point of view, of the photograph.
The archway of the building provides a frame for the youth.
Not all intended framing works, as in the bottom picture.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors. Please consider making a donation today.
