Hi,
I'm translating a book review about photo-novellas and am unsure about 'cadre sombre dégradé':
L'image en noir et blanc, cernée d'un cadre sombre
dégradé, suggère, propose, évoque. Le texte, alignant ses mots, élargit et enrichit le champ des significations qui se confrontent aux références culturelles et artistiques du « lecteur ».
My attempt is 'graduated shading dark frame'.
Thanks

dark, graded border
Dégradé here has the meaning of "graded" ie a changing density. The cadre is probably not the usual wooden frame but an outline border. A look at the picture itself would reveal all.
