Frame within a frame for instant depth
Windows, doors, and arches turn flat scenes into layered, dimensional shots.
Framing your subject inside another element — a window, a doorway, an arch, a gap between branches — instantly adds depth and tells the viewer exactly where to look.
The inner frame acts like a spotlight. Because the surrounding area is often darker or out of focus, your eye is naturally drawn through the opening to whatever sits beyond it.
Look for frames at street level, outdoors, and even indoors. Openings, mirrors, and repeating edges are everywhere once you start noticing.
When you shoot through a frame, use a guide to keep the inner subject balanced. The surrounding frame does the work of leading the eye.
Frame it perfectly, every time.
