Fill the Frame

In photography terms, the frame refers to the edges of the photograph or your cameras viewfinder, so filling the frame means to make the subject(s) a significant part of your final photograph.

When you Fill the Frame with your subject, you fill the photograph with the subject.

When you do this you’re making a clear statement of what’s most important in the photo and because it takes up most (if not all) of the image and the viewer is immediately drawn to the subject you have chosen.

When in Doubt, Get Closer.

“If your photos aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” – Robert Capa
