Learn to play with negative space for more creative framing

To prolong the fleeting

moment captured in a

shot like this, the moving

subject needs an area to

move into. This is defined as ‘active

space’. Here, though, the dust trail

behind the cyclist creates a sense of

motion, but the framing doesn’t

give him anywhere to move into. The

picture is therefore not about where

the rider is going, but where he has

come from. Inverting negative space

like this can be an effective way of

adding interest to moving subjects.
