    Continuing on in our composition series, in this video we will talk about a technique found in photography called sub-framing. Sub-framing is simply taking an object or subject in your image and framing it with lines within the composition, thus having a picture in a picture.
    This is a nice way to place emphasis on something in the composition and is particularly effective when an object is small and surrounded by detail.

    I am subscribed to quite a few photography channels, and I enjoy many of them, however there is something about your content that draws me in every time. Your knowledge and passion is unmatched. I always feel like I have gained something after watching one of your videos. Thank you and stay awesome!

    these 'corporate Ted' videos from ca. 2012 are fun to watch, it provides a good foil to your newer self presentation in your more recent videos. gotta say you seem much more relaxed as a talking media head now, and your framing of your video backgrounds has improved too! props

    Very nice, again. In the last image, the side mirror is a sub-frame - but more importantly I think, the bottom of it together with the buildings creates a frame on the street.

    Great segment. I also really enjoy that most of your examples are in b/w, my preferred vehicle even though I shoot nearly 100% digital.

    A good one Ted. I have been doing this in my images to create interest but I didn't realize it had a name. Thanks

    Ted I really enjoyed this awesome lesson on the concept of sub-framing. Sub-framing is excellent and gravitates our attention.

      Huyen Dang you are welcome...I like the video a lot.

  • @christophergallagher531

    Fredrick Church used this notion, often. He seemed fond of riddles.
    Some of his work can be seen at Olana, about three hours from Times Square, if any one is interested. Thanks Chris

    Something interesting about the Robert Frank image that I don't think has been mentioned is that the 'car' is actually a hearse.

    great content! would have liked more examples for this one... keep up the good work!

    I trained as a painter and this was a concept that intrigued me for a long time. In the first image (though you didn't mention it) it's fair to say that the figure on the left is also framed (or atleast isolated) against the wet pavement. Or did you imply that anyway?

    I don't see a separate playlist for your discussions on composition and technique. I would love it if you had one so I don't have to dig through years of videos.

    Note: the character framed in the window of the Robert Frank image appears to is standing by a street cleaners two wheeled cart. This photo looks like it was taken in an English street, many decades back.

    Photo frames and eye glasses make good props for sub framing in images.

  • @b991228
    @b991228 Před 9 lety

    I would imagine that one of the best photographers to illustrate sub-framing is the late Sail Leiter. I'm sure that this is not an oversight on Ted Forbes part but simply an attempt to not imply to viewers that Saul is the only photographer whose work is worth studying. After all the artists illustrated here are giants in their own right.

    In the first photo of these examples, a door of a herse is open framing someone in the distance while youth runs with his dark back to it all.

    I think the last image works because of the leading lines. The mirror was simply a distraction.
