Framing your subject

The role of any rule of composition is to draw the eye into a photograph. Framing refers to using elements of a scene to create a frame within your frame. For example, you might shoot through a doorway, pulled back curtains, branches, fences, tunnels, or arches to highlight your subject. In the rule of thirds, we had to put the subject at the side of the photo, but in this assignment we had to frame the subject using parallel objects. This is my favorite photo because the books are colorful and parallel. The challenge I faced during this assignment was finding something interesting to take a photo of.
