Frame and Composition: Activity 1


Frame and Composition: Activity 1 

Q: Look through assorted photographic websites and observe how many photographers have moved in very close to their subjects. By employing this technique the photographer is said to ‘fill the frame’ and make their photographs more dramatic. Find two examples of how photographers seek simple backgrounds to remove unwanted detail and to help keep the emphasis or ‘focal point’ on the subject. Attach two images you find to your reply to this discussion.

In the photo on the right, the photographer not only zoomed in on the seagull enough to fill the frame, but also eliminated the cluttered background.

In this photo, the photographer zooms up extremely close to the girls face and has very little of the white background showing.
