Gestalt theory suggests that people perceive the elements within a frame as grouped objects instead of individual.
Tom Grill and Mark Scanlon suggest that a “weak frame” consists of two disjointed elements. For instance a person standing in front of a tree would be considered weak because the tree would appear to be growing out of the persons head. They played with the objects in a photo to make a photo seem solid or broken in composition.
John Baldessari played with acceptable compositions noting where objects were placed especially playing with what was in the foreground and what was in the background.
Garry Winogrand explored the aspect of tilting the camera and not using the horizontal edge as the point of reference. Tilting can create better viewpoints and interesting compositions.
