These short, specific, guides are priceless!
"My Grandmother was a star at using negative space, with her Kodak 126 you could hardly recognise anybody in her pictures we were so far away! so was she was being creative! or unintentionally rubbish! Nice vid Craig I cant disagree with your advice.
Very good points to be aware of when shooting for negative space
Thanks for that Craig
You must be the only 'talking head' on CZcams who doesn't put people to sleep! 😊 You should do a video on how it's done.
Meanwhile, I'll watch this again and try to remember all the tips when I'm out on my Sunday sunrise at the coast jaunt tomorrow.

Composition has much to do with your intended use of the picture: Is is for social media, a catalogue, and ad? Then it should be "understandable" in a split second. Is it for a waiting room of a clinic? Then people have time to "discover" your image. Is it meant to complement an interior decoration? Then "nice colours" may be most important. This is, where pictures with lots of negative space shine. There are of course many more examples, but in any case one size of composition fits not all purposes.
Yeah, in one word, appropriately. I believe creating art/photo is a test of talent and mind of the artist/photographer at that particular moment in time.
Short, sweet and very much to the point. Excellent. Thanks you.
Amazing pictures and explanation. Great video!
Fantastic. A beautiful audiovisual essay.
Great advice. I love photographs with negative space but always overlook this technique when I'm out with my camera, I shall try to *embrace the space* in future, thanks Craig
Thoughtful as ever Craig. Well done.
Well explained and illustrated. Thank you. 👏👏👏
thanks for the inspiration
Fantastic video!
Excellent as usual, Thanks
As usual, your vlogs make complete sense, which is refreshing. So much so, I took out your e6 subscription and am not disappointed. (DISCLAIMER- Craig did not offer any Greggs pastries, money or any other inducements)
That’s right, I definitely did NOT! 😉
I loved this.
Could I fill the whole frame with negative space? That way I’d get the best of both worlds... right?
Splendid advice in deed
There are no rules in photography. Only friendly suggestions. And if those don't work for what you see in front of you, forget about them and shoot what looks good to your eyes.
Is that a Canon T90 with a 50mm 1.8 FD on it? One of the few good manual focus cameras produced by Canon, back in the day? (says an old Nikon shooter). I was never a fan of the A series cameras and the F1 was way beyond my pocketbook. I often think of Robert Capa´s quote, as I am guilty of doing exactly that - not getting close enough. Especially on my street photography.
Yes, my beloved T90...with a secondhand 50mm f1.8, as I sold the original f1.4 beauty
You missed the option that rhymes with Jaws.
