How would you make a piece of art more interesting that the art's own content? One way is play around with the way the image is presented, which can be done in many different ways. This frame could represent an object, a lot like an actual frame for a fancy painting, only in a regular image, since it tells an image's story in a new light, and gives a bit more flare to the subject. A nice example is the recent Polaroid image recently made, the "frame" is in a single photograph, but it narrows down possibilities of many important details. Since it's a photograph, it shows a demographic of who took it, the circumstances/ story behind it, and a specific time frame. To put it simply, it shows a classic late 20th century summer break story, all in one small frame change. The tilt and handwriting (yes, I did that on purpose) also gives a personal touch to the image. What also helps with the composition, how close certain subjects are, how much they are compared to the background, and many other principles I have made a power-point about. Regular pictures taken are usually not taken with every single composition being as well thought out as possible, which gives then their own charm, and makes the easily recognized photo drive the point home. The fact both subjects are cut off slightly, and are abnormally distant show that it was a made-on-the-spot image, making it much more natural. So, what new subject have we learned?
