Framing an Image

When taking a photo, framing is everything! The impact of a photo is largely contained in the way it is framed. Generally, getting in closer is best.
Here I'm wanting to make the best use of my charming model as well as highlight the attributes of the scarf - drapeability, colour and texture. By getting in close all these are revealed.
To get this type of shot, I would use a portrait setting. I might need to use the zoom function to get in close enough. Models usually prefer the photographer to stand away rather than shooting right up close - it's a 'personal space' issue!
It's important to remember to check all around the frame BEFORE you click - sometimes the oddest things can be in the frame and because you're focusing on the subject, it's suprising how easy it is to miss them!

In the photo below, I've taken a longer view - here I've wanted to show a different way of wearing the scarf, and to show off its length.
Getting in really close will allow you to show off fine details.

The macro setting will allow you to get really close to your subject. Don't use flash with macro if you can possibly help it, as this will bleach out colours and flatten textures.
