Composition and Framing. In Issue No.1 of The Art of Photography, which was an introduction to the various fundamentals of photography, EOS users and other photo enthusiasts alike were also introduced to the three important questions posed to them prior to clicking the shutter for their intended pictures. These three questions have a lot to do with composing your images while you are still visualising them through the viewfinder. In this issue, I will also fully explain why composition and framing are not included among the main fundamentals of photography. Let us start with composition and framing first. From the dictionary, you will find that composition and framing have the same meaning but in the world of photography, they are two different terms altogether. In photography, composing a scene simply means that you are composing all the elements of your pre-visualised image within that viewfinder rectangle of your camera. While framing can be considered as another term for composing your pictures, it has a different concept as opposed to composition in the world of photography. Before I fully explain the true definitions of what composition and framing are all about, let me first reveal why these two terms are not included among the main fundamentals of photography. Unlike the rest of the fundamentals of photography that have been described from issues No.2 to No.8, composition and framing are not really important considerations for creating better pictures. Consider this, in order to create better pictures, fundamentals like shutter speeds, apertures, depth-of-field, lenses, angle-of-view, films and lighting are needed to create the images you have pre-visualised. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 . 9 . 10 . 11 . 12 . 13 . 14 .
