Framing

Definition
Another technique photographers use to direct the viewer’s attention to the primary subject of a picture. Positioned around the subject, a tree, an archway, or even people, for example, can create a frame within the picture area. Subjects enclosed by a frame become separated from the rest of the picture and are emphasized. Paying close attention to all for corners of the frame is crucial--make sure the subject is not cut off by the edge of the frame. In addition, you want to make sure you are not including any distracting elements inside your picture frame that could take away from the focus of the main subject.
