Frame Game

Framing is the art of using elements within your scene: like windows, arches, tree branches, or even shadows, to create a“frame”around your main subject. Instead of just pointing the lens at what you want to capture, you invite the viewer's eye to travel through a natural border before arriving at the subject. This adds depth, context, and a sense of storytelling.
