Negative space in photography is the intentional use of empty or open areas around a subject to create balance, focus, and emotion in an image. Rather than filling the frame, negative space allows the eye to rest and naturally draws attention to the main subject, often evoking a sense of simplicity, calm, or even isolation. It can be achieved with skies, walls, water, or any uncluttered background — but the key is using composition and light thoughtfully so the “empty” space becomes just as powerful as the subject itself.
