The frame refers to the edges of your photograph or the edges of the viewfinder of your camera when you are shooting. The theme “to fill the frame” means to get in close, to make your subject a significant portion of the final photograph.

Some photographers tend to leave too much “stuff” around their subject. The viewer gets lost in the chaos and doesn’t know where to look. Less is often more.

Filling the frame encourages you, as a photographer, to really spend some time thinking about your subject and how best to feature that subject in your photograph. How can you bring out the details or the patterns or the most critical elements of your subject? How does the background add to or take away from the story that you are trying to tell?

Tips:

  1. Frame your subject in such a way that it occupies a large amount of space in a photograph. Include more details by moving in closer.
  2. Creating a center of visual interest can be achieved easily just by your moving in closer. Use a zoom lens or move your feet! Even when you think you’ve gotten close enough, take a step further.
  3. While you are filling your frame, keep your aperture number low, that way the background will stay blurred and only your subject will be in focus.
