Today I am sharing images following the inspiration theme at Share Six for the month of June: ~negative space~. As a definition, let's say negative space is the area surrounding the main subject - or the most in focus one -, in a photograph which is left unoccupied. Put simply, it is the space around the object itself that helps define the positive space (or main focus). When used creatively together, negative and positive space can communicate the composition of your photograph.
As photographers, we tend to be thoughtful about the things we decide to include in our images, what subjects we use, how we shape them and how our stories get told. Negative space is great at communicating to the viewer where their eyes should be looking at by isolating the focused parts of an image, surrounding it with an 'empty' or very simplified environment, for example a bokeh.
So this is it for me! Now, we would love to see your interpretations of ~negative space~ theme on our Share Six facebook page or using #sharesix_negativespace on Instagram.
I am part of a group of photographers, Share Six, who blog 6 images on the 6th of each month with unique monthly themes. Please click HERE for the extremely talented Sharleen's interpretation of this month's theme. Then, follow around the blog circle for a whole lot more talent and inspiration! Enjoy!
