Using Negative Space...

It isn't always necessary to fill your frame when taking a photograph. Negative space can give your photograph balance. Negative space is the space around your subjects. Including the negative space in your composition can help add more emphasis to your main subject. Using negative space is probably my favorite composition technique.
Here's an example...

Great photo. Love the bright colors of the clothes it makes for a good contrast with the fall colors outside. You captured the eyes well here.

Scrappy Side

A Little About Me & Photography

I have always enjoyed photography. As a young girl I remember driving my parents crazy always using the camera and begging them to pay extra for one hour processing. Thank goodness for digital. I love the instant gratification being able to see the photo instantly on the back of the camera. One day I made a cute little tutu and had my daughter model it for pictures. They were some of the best I had ever taken. As I looked over those photos I thought, "I want to learn more." Since then I have taken courses and joined photography groups for knowledge and support as I learn more about photography. Thank you to all of my friends and family who have patiently allowed me to practice on them. Thanks to my sister, Amy, who joins me in this learning journey. A big thank you to my sweet husband who supports and encourages me in all I do. There is so much satisfaction when I capture that perfect shot. I want to capture the everyday moments in a beautiful and creative way. I want to document the ordinary. Like the saying goes..."Enjoy the little things in life...for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things." I hope to record the little things with my photography. Little moments captured forever. It's like time in a bottle.
