Photography Tip: Frames and Borders - Street Photography Tips

In street photography, quick decision-making becomes ingrained with practice, allowing you to expertly navigate the interplay of aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and composition. As I dive into editing my collection of photographs, I’m excited to share a preliminary edit from my time in Rome.

The scene is set against an exquisite antique gate, where intricate patterns weave an ornate frame around the photograph. I patiently waited for the perfect moment, and then this gentleman appeared, emerging as the ideal subject to complement the backdrop. The image beautifully captures the monumental scale of the gate, creating a striking contrast between the timeless elegance of ancient Roman architecture and the modern world.

When shooting, remember to look for doors and frames that can enhance your composition and strive to incorporate a human element. This adds depth to the image and enriches the story you seek to tell. Here is another trip on blurry foregrounds in street photography.
