found frames
use your hands, a piece of paper, or any object with a hole to create a frame. look through it and photograph what you see — discover how framing changes meaning.
materials
- camera
- something to use as a frame (hands
- cardboard with a hole
- a toilet roll tube
- a window)
instructions
- 1
make or find a frame. cut a rectangle in cardboard, use a toilet roll tube, or simply make a rectangle with your thumbs and forefingers.
- 2
hold your frame up and look through it. move it around until something interesting appears inside.
- 3
photograph what you see through the frame. take at least 3 captures from different spots.
- 4
now remove the frame and photograph the same scenes without it.
- 5
compare framed vs. unframed. annotate: what does the frame include? what does it leave out? how does that change the story?
