Framing
Framing in photography can be a literal physical frame that “frames” your object or it can be a figurative frame. There are many way to bring framing into your photography by structures, or by parts of the image that direct the eye to the focal point. Darren Rouse shares this, “My rule of thumb when considering framing is to ask the question – ‘will this add to or take away from the image?’ Sometimes framing can just add clutter to a shot and make it feel cramped – but at other times it can be the difference between an ordinary shot and a stunning one (Rowse, 2016).
The image below have different framing compositions, the field while driving is framed by the car window, and the long brick walkway is framing the woman at the end. As a different framing technique, the bee cluster with the tree branch and the chapel entrance behind it. The framing in the canal makes a focal point for the canal and the use of lines in this as well. Framing can be done in many different ways, and this is a style I would like to look more into.
