Negative Space

Arianni Martin and Randy Crespo by Ron Brewer Images

I love negative space!

Negative space is all of that empty area around the subject in a photograph. What’s interesting about negative space, is that it actually draws attention away from itself and to the subject. Even though it’s the largest part of the image, it becomes the smallest to the viewer. What’s big is important, but only because it makes the smaller subject even more important. It’s a paradox.
