Double Frame

 The above picture was taken by me in my dorm. The picture below is in response to my photo and was taken from Guadalupe Rosales' work on the homepage of www.iheartphotograph.com.

Aside from the presence of a person in Guadalupe's picture, these photos have a lot in common. The doorways, lighting, and framing all bare a strong resemblance. The part of the relationship between these two pictures which I found most striking though was the framing. Both photos use double framing to draw you to the subject of the photo. In my picture I use the edges of the wall leading into the hallway to give the viewer a sense of the subject. Guadalupe does the same thing by using the open doors in his picture. Both of us then take it one step further by using yet another frame within the broader of the two to highlight the subject of the picture. While I used the window of the door to frame the outside world, Guadalupe used (what looks like) an empty picture frame to do the same thing.
