About the journal

For the pleasure
of looking closely.

Frame Notes explores the ideas behind an image, one observation at a time.

This journal brings together short pieces about photographic composition and original digital visual studies. The studies are illustrations, not photographs of specific places. They offer a simple way to examine colour, proportion and the movement of light.

A notebook, not a rulebook

Composition is something to experiment with. Our notes are invitations to try a different position, notice an edge or return to a familiar scene with fresh attention.

The visual studies can be viewed as a small gallery. The accompanying journal offers practical exercises that work with a camera, a sketchbook or a walk around your neighbourhood.
