composition: fill the frame

March 2, 2010

Another beautiful way of composing a picture is to completely fill the frame. Fill it with your fabulous subject. Fill it with your landscape. Fill it with whatever you’re shooting. I’ll include some examples below.
Fill the frame with that little face…completely. At times I will even cut off a slight portion of the head (or chest) whatever feels right. Fill your viewfinder with that beautiful face and then…click. Try it. Look. See if you like it. I love it. More emotion. More sweetness. Just more.

    I ordered my new lens! Got the 50mm 1.8 you recommended. I’m so excited to start practicing with adjusting my ISO too. Thanks!
