Space

This photo of natural photography, is a silhouette of a tree contrasting with the the pastel sky. The shoot uses negative space, as it allows the viewer to explore. It defines and emphasises the main subject (the tree), allowing your eyes to rest and to focus on the main subject, without getting too distracted with a too much of a cluttered background. The contrast of colours create depth and also creates a sense of tranquility, because of the warm tones that are used in the background.  

This photo with the close up bug, contains both active and also dead space, as the bug is ready to move forwards and there is space behind it, in which it has already travelled. The space between the background and the bug creates depth because we can see how distant they are from each other by the blurred out background.

This photo of the mountain biker, uses positive space and is very engaging and dynamic as it allows the viewer to see where his movement will be next. The foreground is in focus and contains active space. It creates a feeling of suspense and anticipation. Henri Cartier Bresson uses this in one of his images known as the decisive moment.

This landscape picture I took demonstrates negative space, allowing the audience to focus on the main subject, but can also explore the background as it is in focus.  The picture also includes the rule of thirds, and can be divided up into intersections. The contrast between the sky and the main subject (the tree) creates depth and atmosphere.

This photo I have taken of the raspberry, is in focus, and the background is blurred. The photo uses negative space, which allows the eye to focus on just the main subject. The background is blurred, meaning that there is no distractions and a lot of clutter in the background to get distracted from. As the colour of the berry is so vivid, it contrasts against the green leaves behind it which perfectly compliments each other.

This is my final image I have taken from below of the leaves contrasting against the sky. This photo uses space to emphasise particularly on the tree, while the sky is just there used as "white space".
