When I’m working on a painting I’m constantly thinking about the interactions between positive and negative space. With my photos not so much…
In fact, as I go through my photos I see that the only time I’m really conscious of negative and positive space is with silhouettes. In Penang I happened upon a lot of objects silhouetted against a dramatic sky, probably my best example of using negative space in photos without doing a ton of cropping and editing.

Silhouettes are a great target for negative space Elizabeth, as your examples clearly show
These silhouette photos are great selections for this theme. Thank you, Elizabeth for sharing these images with us. 🙂
Excellent! My favorite is the arch.
Nice silhouettes.
I appreciate the b&w treatment. My favourite is the one of the POLIS sign.
Excellent examples. Very well done.
So much to like and nice flow in the series of photos here – the tv antennae were my fav – and the bulbs – but this had a historical kind of feel
