2025-09-09 Framing the Subject

This challenge is to encourage you to think about framing your subject. This can be a physical frame or a contextual contrast. Great photographers to take inspiration from are Saul Leiter and Alex Webb. Another more traditional way is to think about framing as trying to shoot through something. Think about a foreground framing your subject. Here is a video by Rupert Vandervell on this subject. Alex Kilbee has good videos on Saul Leiter an Alex Webb.
