What is Framing?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The frame of a photo is the background and foreground of a photo that give it depth, dimension and contextual storytelling. To explain framing better, lets look at some examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Grove$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The Frame in action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This photo from Grove City Men\u2019s lacrosse is a perfect example of creating your own frame in a photo. Our person of interest or subject is number #22 in the middle. To highlight this player, we have the focus of the camera blurring out the foreground automatically, but we as photographers can use framing as a technique to further highlight our subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To frame my subject, I used a gap between other lacrosse players in the huddle who were closer to me to add depth and a second dimension to my photo of #22. Framing a photo is using your surroundings to add depth to a photo that you otherwise couldn\u2019t get without a second object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you find the frame of this photo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you said the linemen closer to the photo, you\u2019d be right! A common athletic photography practice is utilizing other players to create a frame for your player of interest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are the benefits of framing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Employing this practice can bring a few new details to your photography<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It helps ensure that the subject is the main subject of the image. The frame serves as a boundary that helps maintain the viewer\u2019s focus on the photographer\u2019s intended subject of the photo<\/li>\n\n\n\n
It adds depth to your photos. This can bring a flat, 2D photo into a 3rd dimensional realm that gives the audience more things to look at<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The frame can add contextual storytelling to your photo. In my first photo, it would have looked odd If I only got #22 without the other players standing in the middle of the field. Utilizing framing with the other players in the huddle gives the context of the photo.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
