Framing

Dominant Subject is framed by other objects.

When Taking Pictures

Make sure the photos are...

In focus:
- make sure you can clearly the subjects and what is going on in a picture. A blurry picture does not tell a story.
Properly exposed:
- make sure the picture has the proper exposure and matches the pictures next to it. If a picture is too dark, use photo shop to lighten it. If you need help with this ask any returning staff member.
