This document discusses different ways of framing subjects in photographs. It explains that the most basic photographic situation involves a single subject in front of the camera, with two options - filling the frame completely or including some of the surroundings. The size of the subject, its context, and the relationship the photographer wants to create with the viewer will influence this choice. Filling the frame completely gives the subject presence but risks making the viewer uncomfortable, while including surroundings provides context but risks less focus on the subject. Perfectly fitting the subject to the frame can be very satisfying compositionally.
