01

Choose the ordinary

Pick an object or a corner of a room that you normally pass without noticing. Look for a shape, a shadow or a relationship between two things. Keep the subject the same for all three photographs.

02

Make three different frames

Take one wide view to show the surroundings. Move closer for a second view. For the third, change your height or angle rather than using a filter. Notice what leaves the frame as you move.

03

Choose and explain

Compare the three images. Choose one and write two sentences: what you wanted someone to notice, and which framing decision helped them notice it.
