Framing is surrounding an object or subject on two or more sides of the picture. This gives the picture a cool look and really hones into the subject of the picture
I photographer should learn or use framing to increase how well your picture looks. If you use framing properly, your pictures will look so much nicer, neater and more eye catching than if it were just the subject itself.
As shown in the pictures below, you want your framed photo to have at least two sides of the picture framed. If it’s just one side, then it feels like the “frame” shouldn’t have ever been there. You also want your frame to make sense so chose frames that go with your picture instead of working against it.
I picked the last photo as my featured photo because I like how the ladder captures the books. The front of the frame is also a little blurry and it makes the books on the bookshelf stand out a little more.
