Using Frames to Enhance Your iPhone Photos

Framing composition involves using elements like windows, doors, mirrors, or natural gaps in the scene to frame your subject. This technique guides the viewer’s attention towards the main subject while possibly adding aesthetic appeal or concealing unnecessary elements in the background.

Examples of Framing Composition
