Fill the frame

When you think you’re close enough to the subject, try going closer. Fill most of the frame with the subject and you got another composition.

Two variations of the same subject created just by filling the frame

Getting closer and filling the frame with the wolfs head gives more emphasis to the wolf and creates more drama. Both photos are of the same wolf but the story it tells is completely different.


Framing

Here’s a creative way to add a foreground to your photos! Use elements around you to create a picture frame of the subject. This technique is a great way of adding interest and making a photo stand out from the rest.

Taj Mahal framed

This photo uses a silhouette to create a frame around the Taj Mahal.

Using trees to frame the winter landscape

Frames don’t have to stand out or be perfectly shaped. They can be natural like the two trees in this image.

    Making sure there is a foreground and trying to find a natural frame for some of the compositions will add so much to my pictures!
