How To Frame A Photo For Effect
How many times have you been set to make a photo, but there’s something in the way? Think of it not as a barrier, but as an opportunity to frame your subject. You can use framing, with or without a frame, to focus, enhance, offer commentary. Compose, crop and make it work to add interest to your image. For example:
Framed by window frames
Framed by patterns
Framed in by an arch
Framed out by an arch
Framed by shadows
Framed by perspective
Framed in stone
Framed inside
Framed in death
Inspiration for these phototips came from The Daily Post‘s Weekly Photo Challenge—frame—to share these photographs from my travels. Find some more PhotoTips HERE.

Appreciate it, thanks!
I like that first one, Jann. The window mullions in the foreground really add dimension to the image.

Many thanks, Allan, I do too. Loved that there were two windows, not just the usual one. Nice to hear from you!
Haha! I wanted to include color…couldn’t find the right image. Maybe next time. Thanks for stopping by!
An interesting way to look at snapping pics – love the frame by branches.
That’s brilliant. And stunning photos.
Thank you, Sarah, for your kind words!
