Photography with Natural Frame

Photography with Natural Frame


Using objects around you to create a natural frame

When composing a photograph, there are different techniques employed. Third and dominance lines can create basic effects like rules and improve your image, as well as a technique called “natural structure”.

Creating a photo with a natural frame indicates your subject to the eye of the viewer and is a great way to add depth and dimension to the image. It is a very simple strategy to learn; What you need to know for what you know.

Understanding natural framing in photography

A natural frame is created when you frame a second object such as a tree or a door in a photo scene as it is your main subject. It's really that simple and you've probably done it yourself naturally at some point.

Photographers use natural structures all the time to add drama to a picture. 

For example:
A picture of a statue in a courtyard is more interesting if an ornately carved door is leading you into the picture.

An outdoor portrait of a bride and groom in Brando is more romantic with some autumn leaves hanging softly in the upper corners.

A floral arrangement still invites a life when it is framed by window light in the afternoon falling on the table.

A-frame can be any object, shape, or light that captures the way the rest of the image attracts viewers, draws their attention, and lets them see what you want them to see.




How to frame up your photo?

You need to practice pre-visualization to learn how to frame your picture. You need to look around your scene and figure out what can make the photo better. Just as you search for the subject of your photo, you need to find the second element that you can back up.

Good rules to follow adding a natural frame

The frames are usually in the main part and lead the viewer’s eye to the main subject behind it. However, a frame can also be a shade or shape of the wall behind your subject.

Decide whether you want the frame to cover all sides of the photo or just one or two sides. The examples of bars and leaves mentioned above are great for their intended purpose.

Decide whether you want your frame to be the sharp focus or soft and blurry. Both can be effective in different situations. Use f / stop to control field depth and achieve the desired effect.

Give your frame a distinctive shape and make sure you have it intentionally placed there. Should be visually separated from the rest of the image.

Avoid photo disguise The purpose is to make the frame stand out without a distraction from the main subject.

What are the implications for professional photography studios and the natural frames used by photographers? Did they divert your attention to the right place?


What can be used as a frame

Natural frames are found all over the world. As you begin to practice these composition techniques, you will see them around them.

Natural Frames - Trees, branches, tall grass, flowers, stones, and other elements in the natural world.

Architectural frames - windows, doors, fence posts, benches, sidewalks, and other man-made elements.

Shadow and Light Frame - Light through a window, a flashlight or street lamp, and other contrasts between shadow and light

Shape Frames - This one is really fun because it will look around to find them. For example, look through a tire swing to take a portrait or use a part of a public sculpture to structure the building behind it.

  1. Natural framing is used to hide distracting elements and strategically fill in areas that otherwise may lack interest. The frame can distract the viewer from looking at those areas and can turn an ordinary scene into a harmonious one that provides balance with the main subject.
