I fotografi sulla soglia

ENG - The great doors of castles and cathedrals or the gates of gardens and villas constitute a limit that cannot always be crossed, but which the photographer can represent by creating effective and refined shots. The role played by a threshold is carried out indifferently both from the inside towards the outside and vice versa. Sometimes the elements suitable for forming an adequate limit between two different environments can be difficult to identify, but they can be appropriately created by the photographer framing some architectural details, such as columns and stairs, or by inserting some natural figure, such as a bush or the trunk of a tree. Just be careful to notice that the best shots are already present in reality, perfectly delimited by windows, arches or branches that frame the rest of the photograph. The natural elements of these frames, such as hedges, are also well blurry. The architectural ones are better if they look sharp. Everything behind the subject is generically defined as a background, but is not present in all photographs. A correct background must separate and be separated from the subject both graphically and chromatically. It is advisable that the background is schematic, orderly and quiet so as not to prevail over the subject, and a color that is not too bright, so as not to attract attention to itself. To get a better background you can move the subject or move the resume point. Outdoors, enthusiasts have at their disposal the sky that is always the best background for photographing monuments, portraits and buildings.
