What is Negative Space in Photography?

Negative space, also known as white space, refers to the areas in a photograph that are not occupied by the main subject. It is the space surrounding and between the elements in an image.

In photography, negative space plays a crucial role in the composition and can help create a photograph’s balance and harmony. It helps draw the viewer’s eye towards the main subject and adds visual interest to the image.

Negative space can create a sense of depth and perspective in a photograph. For example, if the main subject is positioned in the foreground and there is a lot of negative space in the background, it can create a sense of distance between the subject and the background.

Negative space can also add a sense of minimalism to an image. By focusing on a single subject and leaving a lot of negative space around it, the photograph can feel uncluttered and calming.

Overall, negative space is an important element in photography and can create a sense of balance, depth, and minimalism in an image. Photographers can create more visually appealing and impactful images by considering the negative space in a photograph.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.

Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).

This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.

I honestly can’t wait to work in many more projects together!
