THE SUB-FRAMING ASSIGNMENT

•Framing (often referred to as sub-framing) is a compositional technique that can be used to focus, or direct, the viewer’s attention to the subject of the photo.
•Framing can give your images a sense of depth, layers, context, intrigue and can lead the viewer's eye toward the subject.

WHAT TO SHOOT
Shoot a minimum of 30 images using TWO of the FIVE "framing" styles below:
•option #1 -frame a face with an object
•option #2 -frame a person with a car, bicycle or skateboard
•option #3 -frame an object with another object
•option #4 -frame a subject using the natural environment
•option #5 -frame a person using architecture

WHAT TO SUBMIT
•Pick your two best images and a 30 image proofsheet and submit them in the Google Classroom, "Framing" assignment folder.

CAMERA SETTINGS
