Fill the Frame – October 17

I think filling the frame of a photograph is often overlooked as a technique of photographic composition. Artists often try to provide context, myself included, by backing away from the subject and taking photos of it in its surroundings. However, sometimes it may be beneficial to take things for what they are. This sign doesn’t have to be a sign. Maybe it’s just a graphic advertising Seafood To-Go! Not everything needs to have a context, not everything needs to fit into its environment – oftentimes, things should just be taken for what they are, rather than analyzed and criticized for how they interact with what’s around them.
