Framing is a composition technique that uses part of the scene to make a frame around the main subject. The frame draws the eye to the subject and can add a sense of depth.
Examples include photographing a church tower through an archway, a person looking out of a window, or someone standing under the branches of a tree. Doorways, bridges and shadows can also act as frames. The word framing can also simply mean choosing what to include at the edges of a picture.
