NEGATIVE SPACE

12_negative_space.png

Negative Space is a composition technique that emphasizes the area around the subject to create a sense of solitude, relaxation, or contemplation. In this approach, the main subject occupies only a small portion of the scene, while the surrounding space—known as negative space—takes up the majority of the frame. This highlights the subject by drawing attention to it through contrast, simplicity, and balance. Minimize size of the main subject, increasing background area, and blend background elements, colors, and lighting.
