Previously on the blog, I mentioned that composition tricks such as leading lines can help grab the attention of your viewer. Well, here is another photo composition tip: framing your subject?
What is framing? To “frame” your subject within your composition, you find either a naturally occurring frame (such as a doorway, arch, tree branches, etc.) or create a frame around your subjects.

How do you create a frame? There are countless ways! Hold the branches of a tree. Have the subject use their hands to create a frame around their face. You can even use light to create a type of frame and make your subject stand out.
Learn more about framing as a composition tool in the video below:
