Mira Photo Portfolio

 For this assignment we were asked to use our tools to shoot images of 'a frame in a frame'. Everything was shot in manual mode and edited later on.  Entrance to the gym bring framed by columns outside.  The chapel being framed by an overarching tree and lamp post.  NMH trophy case. Artwork downstairs in the RAC being framed by the walls. A rock outside being framed by flags for Envision NMH. NMH athletics logo being framed by 2025 colleges. 'Welcome Families' sign for Envision NMH day framed by the tent. Downstairs entrance to the gym being framed by dimension. Chairs and a piano being framed by the doorway in the RAC. Coach K being framed in the gym by the window.

 Framing in a frame is used to draw the viewers attention to the main subject of the photo. Main elements of doing this are doorways, windows, tree branches, mirrors, and architecture. Most often, what the frame does is add context to the image. This allows you to understand where it's taking place and if there's aspects of culture involved. Doing this adds another layer of depth to photos by isolating the main subject away from everything else.  Examples: This image uses multiple layers of framing to create a more intense depth. This image uses a train window to frame a woman sitting on a train while reading a book while adding movement with the woman on the outside.  This photo uses tree branches to capture an image of a child jumping outside in the nature. This image uses a car door/window to isolate the man for a portrait photo.  This image uses the opening of a canyon to make another canyon the main subject of the photo.
