Framing
What does it mean?
Framing in photography refers to the process of composing a picture.
In the image I have chosen, you can see someone framing a city using finger frames which is a gesture for artists and directors.
Filling the frame
What is it?
Filling the frame is the technique of composing an image so that positive space takes up most or all of the frame.
In the image I have chosen, we can see a full image of a cat which is common for a framed picture.
Rule of thirds
What is it?
A rule of thirds is a guideline that places the subject in the left or right third of an image, leaving the other two thirds more open.
In this picture I have picked, we can see the dog is composed as it's in their looking space.
Lines and perspectives
What is it?
Linear perspective is the most common type of perspective photography, using converging lines to show the depth in a frame. It requires two elements: parallel lines and a vanishing point. A vanishing point is typically on the horizon but can be placed anywhere in an image.
In the image I have chosen, we can see a one-point linear perspective of a woman crossing a bridge, which gives the impression of the bridge being long to the audiences.
Depth of field
What is it?
A depth of field is how much of your image is in focus.
In the image I have chosen, we can see chess pieces up close which focuses on the different piece, to make it like a piece of artwork.
Macro
What is it?
Macro photography is all about showcasing a subject larger than it is in real life — an extreme close-up of something small.
In the image I have chosen, we can see a ladybird up close on a leaf to give a feel of nature to the viewers of the picture.
