Framing

A method for drawing attention to a certain aspect of a picture and providing the impression of more depth by employing another component of the image to create a frame around the topic being highlighted. Some examples of this technique include taking a picture of a church tower via an archway, photographing a person looking through a window frame, or taking a picture of someone standing under the bough of a tree.
