Try using different objects as frames to create interesting shapes around your subject.

A friend or family member to be your subject

STEPS
Vocabulary
● Foreground - the front of your image or whatever is closest to the camera
● Background - what is happening furthest away from the camera

Shoot
● Head out into your neighborhood and look for interesting pops of color or shapes
