Framing, by definition, is to frame the subject in the picture, so that the viewers’ attention is drawn towards the subject instead of the surroundings.
More elaborately, Framing in photography simply refers to a compositional technique that helps bring attention directly to your subject, blocking off part of the image to form a frame around a point of interest in your photo. Its main goal is to draw the viewer’s eye to what’s most important, but it also works by making the scene look more interesting, which makes the photo more compelling!
