Emerge Framed Top 10

Framing your subject is a fantastic, no-mistaking way to bring attention straight to your subject. At the same time, framing allows you to introduce extra eye candy to the image in the form of colour, texture and an impression of place and purpose. You can frame your subject in so many ways by using items in the foreground or background, nature or urban settings, doorways, foliage – the options are endless!

Framing is a fantastic way to draw attention to the subject and as we kick off with the first Emerge challenge, that is what we are looking for.

Armed with the challenge brief, an instructional video and some behind the scenes footage for inspiration, our challengers set out to create images with framing as the number one compositional element.

We had a very high standard of images for our first challenge, but here, in no particular order, are our top 10 submissions.

Fantastic work, we’re sure you’ll agree, so well done to the photographers.
