Framing is a composition technique that uses objects to “frame” and focus the viewer’s attention on the main subject

Using framing effectively can turn a standard snapshot into a more compelling, artistic photograph

Why Use Framing in Photography?

2. Story telling

Framing adds context and narrative to the scene by telling you a bit about the place the photograph is being taken
Shows the feelings of isolation, contemplation or intimacy

3. Visual Interest

Creates a more complex and intriguing composition. By placing a subject behind a foreground element, you add depth and layers to the image
