In tight framing photography, it is required to put the frame quite close around the subject. In other words, the subject would almost touch the edges of the photo or even cropped slightly by the edges. It is just the opposite of long shot or wide-shot photography in which the subject is quite removed from the edges of the frame of shot making the frame important.
Thus, in tight framing photography, both the frame and the subject are equally important.
When a subject is placed at the edges of the frame and the subject has hardly any room to move around within, such a frame is deemed tight. On the other hand, longer shots, in which the subject(s )have enough space to move around within the frame, it is a loose frame.
In sports photography, the freeze-motion within a tight frame is a skill that is most appropriate to be practiced. When a sports photographer shoots tight, the option to crop tighter on an interesting element of the picture can present itself. It is often said that tight framing of subjects in motion or moving objects is 'all about the moment.'
Some of excellent sports pictures show very little movement normally require a great deal of skill to capture right moment pictures. However, the continuous shot options are available for practice these days.
In nature photography, tight frame pictures show no horizon. To capture emotions, moods, feelings, the tight frame photos of face are preferred. Often, the subject is cropped slightly by the edges even the post-shoot processing of the picture. The facial expressions with its details, form, colours, shadow, etc., make subject self-sufficient to make emotions stand out.
