Negative space is an element I enjoy incorporating in my photographs. I have discovered some folks enjoy negative space, while others do not. They want the area filled in with something. Anything! Just do not leave all that empty space. Sort of like putting one beautiful slice of a garden tomato on a huge dinner plate. Fill that plate up for goodness sake!
I can understand this philosophy. Being wasteful is not a bragging point. However, I appreciate the way the negative space emphasizes the beauty of the one or two objects in the photo. Or for that matter also in a flower arrangement, and even sculptures. It leaves a space for the viewers imagination to fill in with their own experiences and ideas.
So take a stroll through this gallery. Fill in your own stories, and share your thoughts. Have fun!

Your captures are fabulous! And how in the world is that sculpture put together? The artist is floating in air! Lol!
It’s pretty amazing isn’t it, Nancy? Start at her head go down her scarf, through the palette then up to her hand! 😊
All beautiful, but I love the horse shot. 🙂

I am. We had two for several years and then we also had two minis. I have an extremely soft heart when it comes to horses. 🙂
