Canon 7D, Frames within Frames

The image you are photographing is already framed inside the confi nes of the viewfi nder, but placing your subject within another frame can be a good way to draw the viewer’s eyes toward the part of the image you would like to emphasize (Figure 8.22). You can also give the image a feeling of depth and help tell a story by being creative with the depth of fi eld (Figure 8.23).

The vacant house in the background is framed by the broken window in the foreground.

The bride in the mirror is framed by her mother in the foreground. I used a wide aperture to give the image depth.
