WPS Director E. David Luria is always telling his clients to “get closer” when they are on a safari, just like his mother Estela, used to tell him when he was learning photography using a Brownie 620. It’s good advice, so make it a habit to try filling the frame with your image for a portion of the time when you are out shooting.

By filling the frame, you ensure that the subject takes priority in the photo. There will be very little or no border around the edge of the photo and sometimes the subject extends past the edge of the photo. Patterns – in architecture, art, and nature – work well as subjects. Flowers, whether it is a single flower – especially in full bloom – or a group work especially well. You can also try photographing small items, making them “larger than life” or capturing a detail of a large subject.
