Simply put, Negative space is the space that surrounds an object within an image. It is just as important as that object itself -- air is important for most every living organisims isn't it? N egative space helps to define the boundaries of positive space and brings balance to a composition. The negative space is defined by the edges of the positive space and the frame or border (the third element). Thus, part of our negative space is bound by the frame and another part is bounded by the positive sp...
