Look Both Ways
The photograph of my friend in his car clearly shows a frame within a frame. The frame of the actual photo and the frame of the car window give this photo a frame within a frame. The car window creates a clear frame to contain one’s focus and lead the eye to the subject. My goal was to give the photograph a very noticeable frame so one would know exactly where to look. The shape of the car frame also gives interest to the photo. One is used to seeing rectangles or squares for frames, so I think this new shape gives the photo interest. This frame also shows a relationship between the subject and his car, which is emphasized by the use of framing. Using framing to give the viewer a clear area of focus as well as adding interest and symbolism were goals of this photo.
